Michigan Central Railway Station

I took a 45 minute drive north to visit a renovated Railway Station in Standish Michigan. It is now a tourist welcome center and historical centerpiece. This past mid October the railway station celebrated its 125th birthday. This is actually the replacement railway station for the prior wood railway station. The railway company brought in masons while the local farmers supplied fieldstone to create this beauty. The railway station still has the original floor plans with 90% of the building intact. The main room floors, ceilings, and light fixtures were replaced during the renovation. In the main room, the North side doors were replaced also. The side room and ticket office is still completely intact. Soda blasting was used to clean the entire building during the renovation.

Thank you for the complements.
Yes, they do allow tours through the cars. But the day I was there it was just the curator. She is there 3-4 days of the week and the cars are open on the weekends when extra help is there. The day I was there, I was the only guest besides the curator and a couple of volunteers cleaning the grounds.

Here are a couple photos of the Caboose showing some interior displays.

Yes, the roof is crazy since the ceilings in the rooms are very high. It looks like a great start! John
