| Durand Union Station-Michigan Railroad History Museum posted Today’s featured depot is the train station in Clarion 🚂 Clarion, located in Charlevoix County, was settled about 1874. The depot, which sat about eight miles north of Boyne Falls, served as a station stop on the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad. In 1916, the GR&I suffered a serious derailment near the north end of the passing track at Clarion. On or about April 27, a southbound train left the rails, tipping the locomotive onto its side and scattering several coaches in a zig-zag pattern. The engineer later died from his injuries and the fireman was also hurt; remarkably, no passengers were injured. The photo here shows the depot in Clarion with a section gang on the tracks in front. Date unknown. ___________________________________ Sources & Photo: "Station: Clarion, MI". Michigan Railroad History. http://www.michiganrailroads.com/.../79.../604-clarion-mi.

It looks more like a tower than a depot, but the above photo does confirm that the building was small.
