Depot was across the street from my grandfather's house. Might as well have been my second home, especially that former baggage ramp protruding out toward the C&O main on the left.
Also a carbon copy design at Fowler, on the Durand-Grand Rapids line, now a private residence north of town. Cheers, aussiehinz South Lyon MI (C&O-GTW)...
