The Coopersville and Marne Railway continues to offer train rides and special events throughout the year. The vintage train travels between the villages of Coopersville and Marne, following 7 miles of track originally built in 1858. They offer much more than just a train ride. On most trains, musicians and actors get passengers involved in the fun during our 90-minute trip back in time. Generations of families have enjoyed the special event trains for the past 30 years.
