Raymond Storey posted two photos with the comment: "CHARLOTTE MI."

Jim Kelling: The top one is the abandoned Grand Trunk Western station, now in terrible condition; the bottom one is the old Michigan Central station replaced about 1920 by a brick station still standing and used as a Mexican restaurant.

I inadvertently found the GTW depot while confirming that some trees block the view of a wood grain elevator. https://maps.app.goo.gl/SdwmGnk36LsMAs488

Note the original wood grain elevator on the right side of this view peeking out over the roof of the long wood building? It would have been in the southern quadrant of the GTW vs. MC crossing. The grain plant is a flour mill.
