Crooked Lake Express | Original train car of Grand Trunk Western 2579

The Grand Trunk Western 2579 is now resting in the heart of Northern Michigan as Crooked Lake Express 2579. Maintaining the industrial feel of an authentic train while bringing modern charm, the Crooked Lake Express creates a unique experience! Queen bed, twin bunk-beds, 1.5 bath + kitchen.

Quaint cosy unique experience
The rental was just as described and was an amazing experience. The theming matches the train car perfectly. As described there are a couple tight spaces (namely the half bath) but you’re in a real train car. We loved our time and thought it was an amazing experience.
