Location: Richland Junction, MI
Richland Junction in northeast Kalamazoo County, was the crossing of the Chicago, Kalamazoo & Saginaw railroad and the Detroit, Toledo & Milwaukee railroad. The DT&M was later converted to an interurban railroad. Later, it again became a steam railroad but was truncated at Doster and Richland and became a short branch of the CK&S which was absorbed by the Michigan Central.
