This website is missing old photos for a number of locations in Michigan and nearby counties in other states. If you are a rail photographer or a photo collector, you are encouraged to share your collection with others on michiganrailroads.com. All photos will be acknowledged when used on a page, but we don’t generally accept photos with the photographer’s name or photo location embedded in the photograph.

Photos taken prior to 1930 (including old postcard photos) generally preceded copyright laws. More recent photos require the permission of the photographer or in some cases the collector if the photographer is deceased.
