(WLUC) - The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is looking into the possible purchase of approximately 60 miles of inactive railroad.The proposed acquisition would transfer roughly 60 miles of former rail corridor between Wells and Channing from the Escanaba &amp; Lake Superior Railroad to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. State officials say the route could become a key addition to the Upper Peninsula’s expanding trail system, creating new recreational connections across Delta and Dickinson counties while preserving the historic rail grade for any potential future transportation use.DNR Upper Peninsula Trails Coordinator Ron Yesney spoke to TV6 about the possibility of adding a new trail.“We have run into scenarios across the state where we’ve been able to purchase rails use them as trails and then reconvert them as rails as necessary. And that’s the whole idea behind the rails to trails program,” he said.Funding opportunities are still being evaluated, and discussions on the project continue.The video above will feature the TV6 livestream until staff can clip the corresponding story, if available, from broadcasts or other TV6 content.
