Railroad museum hosts free weekend

The Saginaw Railway Museum at 900 Maple in Saginaw will celebrate National Model Railroad Month with its last open house of the year Saturday.

The museum will be open from 1 to 4 p.m. Admission is free, but donations are asked. Anyone who makes a $20 donation will receive a one-year individual membership.

Among the features are a switch engine from Carrollton, a locomotive formerly used at the Karn-Weadock plant in Essexville, photo displays of "then and now" railroad photos from Saginaw and former railroad depots in Saginaw. Also, there is a large HOScale model railroad layout in the basement, loosely based on the Tri-City area post WWII.

The Saginaw Railway Museum is housed in the former Hemlock depot, which was built in 1907, closed in 1976 and moved to Saginaw in 1983.
