Monroe Rail Trails Tour

Marven Moss, Community Contributor

Riding the old rails: Railroad authority Bob Belletzkie, holding notes and microphone, and historian Lee Hossler stand in front of what was once the site of the old Stevenson Railway Station (just on the other side of the track) off Cottage Street in front a segment of the nearly 100 riders who assembled Saturday (May 31) on three buses for the Rail Trails Tour arranged by the Monroe Historical Society and the Monroe Senior Center. The tour was sponsored by Bernie Sippin and  covered four old railway sites active years ago in Monroe. Rounding out the presenters with Belletzkie and Hossler were John Babina and Pete McLachlan, a retired engineer who once rode the Monroe rails, all working with their own research and material provided by Kevin Daly.
