| Walter Jung posted Union Station, Lansing, Michigan - real photo postcard, postmarked 1905. Robert Warrick shared |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Robert's share The railroads were the Michigan Central and Pere Marquette. The street side of that depot is rather fancy, https://maps.app.goo.gl/arWWqXU3W6fBqDav6 |

| Walter Jung posted Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railroad Depot, Lansing Michigan - undivided back postcard, not posted, date c. 1904-07. Located along the Grand River, across from what is now Adado Park. Jim Kelling shared Lansing Michigan (Lake Shore & Michigan Southern) |
The railroad from the south that joins the Pere Marquette through town was the Michigan Central. They shared a Union Station that is extant. The other railroad from the south that went along the river was the LS&MS. The east/west railroad across the south part of town was the Grand Trunk.

Thanks the the railroad bridge that is now a trail bridge, we know that the road across the top of the above topo excerpt is Saginaw Street. The topo map is not very accurate, so I got an aerial photo. Again, we can correlate the aerial with today's satellite images using the trail bridge. The topo map indicates that the sole purpose of the bridge was to access some industries on the left bank of the river.

In this photo taken from the State Capital that is looking down Michigan Avenue, the station is in the middle of the far left side.
