(rshsdepot) Bangor railroad stations. Bangor, Michigan (for sale) (Pere Marq,/C&O)

["Paul Luchter" <luckyshow_@_mindspring.com>]

This page tells everything about the Pere Marquette RR station here. Pictured are the 1929 station- one that shared the station with a train toy manufacturing company until 1991- and is now deteriorating (#1 most threatened railroad station in 1998); the cheesy open air bus shelter that Amtrak uses since the toy guys (Kalamazoo Toy Train Works) closed; a photo from the original wooden depot with horses and an early car waiting by a train: http://user.mc.net/~louisvw/depot/bang/bang.htm

On this official page we see the current state of this 1926 depot but also the history (bought by the city from CSX Railroad 2001) of the railroad here.: http://uk.geocities.com/carolyn_carr2003/history.html
This is from the city's official page. The Adobe Acrobat file of the history of the Elevator is also interesting as other the other histories at the top.: http://ci.bangor.mi.us/default.htm

For sale the Pere Marquette depot is for sale and here is the real estate prospectus with many pictures of all angles inside and out even a floor plan. I hope they make it a provision it doesn't get demolished: http://ci.bangor.mi.us/Community/Announcements/railroad_depot.htm
Pictures such as the extant scale in the Scale Room: http://ci.bangor.mi.us/Community/Announcements/imges/Depot%20Scale%20Room%20Scale.jpg
And you will see that even the old Amtrak waiting room was an add on to the original station.
