This [M. M. & N Railway?] train is on what would become the Manistique & Lake Superior Railroad tracks. The track leading to the lower left corner is the interchange track with the D. S. S. & A. Railway. This engine wheel 2-4-4 arrangement does not show on the M&LS engine roster, the lead engine also has a tender attached to it.


This what the depot looked like later in in life, after it was no longer used. Manistique & Lake Superior trackage is gone and the road bed is now a nature trail.
