Longtime Atco resident Carl Lange put countless hours and a lot of heart into building this beautiful wooden replica of the historic Atco Train. After being asked to remove it from the Waterford Library, the Township stepped in to help find it a new home.

The train is now safely on display at the Waterford Township Municipal Building, where residents can continue to enjoy it.

Thank you to Carl for sharing his craftsmanship and love of local history. Waterford has a rich railroad history, and we’re happy this special piece will remain on display for our community!
