Ken Draper: Iron Mtn. MI.... my town! The depot is used for storage by the owners, the Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad.
[I'm glad a shortline owns it. I'll bet a Class I railroad would have torn down the train order signal.]

C&NW Depot


Chicago & North Western Historical Society posted
This time we are looking at a postcard photo of the street side of the C&NW's  Iron Mountain, Michigan depot and downtown.  Note the unusual round crossing guard shanty at the lower left of the photo.  Iron Mountain with all the iron mines surrounding it made the C&NW a lot of money.
Junior Farmer: Hexagon, six sided crossing shanties. Typical, cuz curved glass is expensive and round structures are more difficult to make.
Janet Fairchild: And the Depot is still there

 I'm guessing it is now the Bijou Lovely gift shop. https://maps.app.goo.gl/d8N73FubrxaQvtoTA
