To mark the occasion, 30th anniversary ceremonies were planned for Tuesday morning, Sept. 16, at each of the stops: Holland, Bangor, and St.Joseph/Benton Harbor. The Westrain coalition and Amtrak were hosting a double-decker Superliner along with a special theater car at the rear.
Those who came out to the events were given the chance to win tickets and received commemorative gift bags. Sponsoring the event was also Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), which provides state support for the route.
