Michigan Central Railroad Depot, Leslie, Michigan, 1910
Add to SetSummary
Leslie, Michigan, was served by the Michigan Central Railroad's Saginaw Branch, running from Jackson to Bay City via Lansing and Saginaw. The line opened to Leslie in 1865, while this depot was built around 1902. This scene is typical of small-town railroad stations, where fresh milk -- seen in cans on the baggage cart -- was a regular shipment.
