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. They offer seasonally themed train events and excursions throughout the year. Our theme trains, from the beginning of the season, are: “Beat the Train” 5K Race Coopersville Car Show Shuttle The Bunny Train Murder Mystery Train Veteran’s Free Troop Train The Famous Pumpkin Train The Great Train Robbery The Santa Train Friends of Coopersville and Marne Railway “Pumpkin Train” Departing October 8, 9,15,16, 22, 23, 29 and 30 Ticket Prices: Adult $23 Senior $20 Child $18 Infant Free A West Michigan family fall tradition.

Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
