For once, Amtrak uses the cute little depot that was already in the town.

Another one to cool you off this morning, caught on a morning coffee run after an overnight snow storm. The old Grand Trunk station at Lapeer has seen many beautiful winter mornings like this in its 123 year history.

posted two street views with the comment: "Lapeer, MI, preserved their depot and some cabooses. (The GT is privately owned, but shared with the public.) And Amtrak uses the preserved depot. The Grand Trunk ran east/west through town and the Michigan Central went north/south. And the Detroit, Toledo & Ironton was in southeast Michigan."

The Michigan Central went north/south through town just east of the depot. CN uses a remnant of the southern spoke as an industrial spur to
Delta Faucet Company. In a satellite image, I saw three covered hoppers spotted next to the plant. They are probably carrying plastic pellets.

This is probably a feed mill. Note the little locomotive on the left side. And the circular foundation for an abandoned grain bin.
Looking past that bin foundation, we can see the locomotive.
Does the locomotive service the feed mill and/or the Delta Faucet Company?
