The switching tower of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad in Albion, early 20th century. This was located just east of N. Albion St. in Albion. This scene looks east. The LSMSRR track is the one on the far left, and headed towards Springport. The main Michigan Central Railroad tracks are in the center.

Wreck on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad in Albion, Michigan, October 12, 1914. where the tracks crossed the Michigan Central railroad. Notice the interurban trestle above, and the railroad switching house on the right. This scene faces west, looking towards N. Albion St.

A 1948 topo map shows that the LS&MS route has already been abandoned except for a short spur. And that is the oldest topo available.

Sunny, pleasant day at the old Michigan Central depot and freight house in Albion, MI. The depot houses an insurance agency and also serves as the waiting room for Greyhound and the one daily Amtrak train in each direction which stops here. Train #350, eastbound from Chicago to Detroit and Pontiac, passes by.
