That IS a neat site.

Curious about the Vernon depot, though -- shows as moved to Durand, but shows the Durand depot that we all know.

Howell's old PM depot was moved to the Fowlerville Fairgrounds, but the picture this site shows as moved from Howell is actually Fowlerville's depot off of S. Grand in Fowleville.

The GTW depot from Vernon was, at some point, moved to the golf course on the north side of Durand. When you come into town on M-71 or I-69, look to your left and you'll see it. It's painted green and yellow.

The Galien depot shouldn't be listed on there. It was destroyed by construction equipment two years ago. :x

Also, the Lake Odessa depot should be listed as "Relocated" since it's several blocks north of downtown away from its original location along the tracks.
