Notes

Time Line

1909. The PM built a new station here. [PMAR-1909] Ground was broken and five carpenters from Saginaw are getting out the framework. It is to be 20x60 foot and will be placed some 10 rods south of where the burned one stood. [NWO-1908-1022]

1978. Quite a few changes took place in 1978. Chessie went on a building spree to increase capacity. The Clyde siding was extended south which more than doubled its capacity. [DH]
