A Grand Rapids & Indiana
passenger train stops at Wayland, Michigan south of Grand Rapids.
According to the writing on the photo, this is a "union" station which
means that it was probably used by the interurban railroad. Note
the water tower on the left. The station semaphore indicates that
all trains must await train orders from the station's telegraph
operator. [Alan Loftis Collection] Below, additional
photographs of the same station. [Alan Loftis collection] |

Above, another early view of
Wayland which appears to be an older station or freight house. The
device at the left is perhaps a mail bag delivery device. |

Below, a current view of the
Wayland depot or freight house, taken in 2003. This is either an
older depot, or a freight house, as it is much smaller than the photos
above. [Alan Loftis] |
