Comments from Alan Loftis: When you look at the Farmington junction picture, you see the track veer off on towards Orchard Lake. Notice the track on the left. This track follows Grand River Ave through downtown Farmington, to Farmington Road. From there, it goes south to 8 Mile Rd (Baseline Rd). At Baseline it travels west to where this waiting room stood on Newburg and Baseline (8 Mile Rd). The line then went on to Northville, and south to Plymouth and Wayne. The Farmington Jct. car barn was 60 X 223 feet in size. The water tower held 34,000 gallons of water and stood 48 feet above ground level. The wash house was at the north end.
