Railroad St., located adjacent to the DNR &#8211; planned Rails to Trails bike trail through St Johns. Riders will choose to ride a course of 20, 40 or 60 miles, beginning and ending at the depot. Great food will be available at the end of the ride. Entry fee is $20.00 per person.<br \/>\nThe proceeds from the ride will benefit the restoration of the historic railcars owned by Clinton Northern Railway, a branch of Clinton County Arts Council (CCAC).<br \/>\nThree of the cars are currently in place beside the depot and can be toured on Sunday afternoons, 1 &#8211; 3PM, or by calling Gary or Jenny McCampbell at 989-224-6134.<br \/>\nThe railway also owns the Sault Ste. Marie, which is one of the few remaining wooden sleeper cars from 1902. Belying its rough exterior, portions of the Marie&#8217;s original, elegant interior remain intact. Upon restoration, she will join the other cars as part of the railway museum beside the rail-trail.<br \/>\nEntry forms are available at the CCAC Art Gallery, 215 N. Clinton St., St. Johns.
