Larry W Harrell: I'm not sure if you know but the old Pere Marquette depot stood over your left shoulder between this signal tower and Michigan Ave. Closer to Michigan than not. That depot is now at the history village at the Livingston County Fairgrounds in Fowlerville. Great photo! Thanks for posting!
[Note that this CSX route is still using searchlight signals. That means this route doesn't need PTC (Positive Train Control).]

This is a depot on the former Pere Marquette now CSX in Howell Michigan. Cir:1977.  The depot was moved to  Fowlerville Mi to the fairgrounds historic village in 1996. It now houses several model RR layouts.

Where is the Howell depot in Fowlerville? I noticed that CSX evidently still owns the Pere Marquette depot. https://maps.app.goo.gl/gMbhx6RMfeX1fudW7

Never mind, I saw another one of your posts where you indicated it was in the fairgrounds. https://maps.app.goo.gl/NstVCCr4AMNSd5AHA
