C.K. & S. Turnaround at Woodbury,
MI
Area Historian, William ‘Bill’ Feasal recalled that when he worked in Lake Odessa as a young man he had to ride the train to work and back boarding at Mulliken. At times they would stop in Woodbury to help turn the engine around on the track because the C.K. & S. Railroad ended at Woodbury. Men from Hastings, Nashville & Woodland would ride to Woodbury to have a beer while the train was being turned around because Barry County was a dry county. When the train was ready to go, they would get a bucket of beer to take with them, thus the train was dubbed “The Beer Bucket Special.”
