Michigan has a rich railroad history, which began in November 1836,
when the Erie and Kalamazoo Railroad initiated service between
Toledo, Ohio, and Adrian, Michigan. That first Erie and Kalamazoo
train consisted of stagecoach-like vehicles linked together and
pulled by horses. Steam locomotiveahauled trains were still eight
months in the future. As these new transportation entities grew and
prospered, they put in place more elaborate station buildings in
the communities they served. By the end of the 19th century, some
of the larger railroad stations being built in Michigan were works
of art in their own right. But whatever size and form they took,
railroad stations were uniquely styled buildings, and there was
generally no mistaking them for anything else. This volume portrays
some of Michiganas finest railroad stations during their heyday in
the second decade of the 20th century.
