Michigan Central 7707 leads an eastbound freight at Rives Junction, Michigan.  The train, which probably originated in Grand Rapids, has stopped for orders and a photo (left to right) of the brakeman, engineer, conductor and fireman (up top).  Rives Junction is located about 10 miles north of Jackson.  In addition to the Grand Rapids Branch, trains proceeded north to Lansing, Saginaw and Bay City from this location.  Note the interurban railroad overpass behind the depot.  This photo is circa 1910.
