Come Ride the Rails at SMRS! May through September train excursions travel the historical Clinton Branch line between Clinton and Tecumseh. At the end of September take the train and enjoy the Clinton Fall Festival or in October the train will travel to Tecumseh's Appleumpkin Festival. Also during October, SMRS travels south from Tecumseh through the countryside for Michigan's Fall Color Tours.

Eventually the iron rail was laid to Jackson by 1857 by the Michigan Southern Rail Road Company.
