Nathan Nietering posted two photos with the comment: "Congratulations are in order to the Vicksburg Historical Museum in Michigan, on the occasion that the Vicksburg Union Depot was just listed in the National Register of Historic Places! the 1904-built depot provided first class accommodations for passengers on the Grand Trunk Western and Grand Rapids & Indiana lines where they cross in southwest Michigan. The GR&I route became Penn Central in the 1970s and abandoned, although a caboose and two freight cars still sit on the old alignment beside the depot. The GTW is now CN and is a busy international freight route. The Union Depot now serves as a railroad museum and is the gateway to the nearby Vicksburg Historical Village. Worth a visit!"
