Lake Central Rail Tours ends Michigan operations NEWSWIRE

HAMMOND, Ind. – Lake Central Rail Tours, which operated excursion trains on Michigan’s Tuscola & Saginaw Bay Railway and successor Great Lakes Central Railroad, is canceling 2008 operations, citing rising insurance and fuel costs as the reasons. Great Lakes will continue to occasionally operate Northern Arrow Excursions to Petoskey, Mich., in cooperation with Cincinnati Railway Co., which operates luxury private car tours out of its namesake city; the next tour to Petoskey will operate July 30-Aug. 9, 2008.
