GR&I = Grand Rapids and Indiana
 |
| Durand Union Station-Michigan Railroad History Museum posted Today’s featured depot is the GR&I station in Pellston 🚂 Pellston, located in Emmet County, was settled about 1872 and would later receive the designation of “town” in 1907. A station was established here after the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad (GR&I) came through. Pellston was a junction for the GR&I’s Bogardus Branch - a historical logging railroad line that ran northwest from Pellston to the mill settlement of Bogardus/Ely. Fortunately, the depot survives, and is now home to the Pellston Historical Society and Museum. It is located at 123 North Stimpson street. Sources listed in the comments.

There is a lot of open space in the middle of town because the GR&I had a small railyard here.
