The Detroit & Mackinac
Railway depot at Aloha, Michigan. Aloha is a small resort town
on the east side of Mullet Lake. A state park is located at the
hamlet. [Alan Loftis Collection] Below, a color postcard
of the same depot in the early part of the 20th century. The
Aloha depot was somewhat unique in Michigan and had one of the few
"look-out" towers. This tower gave views an advanced view of
oncoming trains as well as a view of the beautiful sunsets on Mullet
Lake. [T. J. Gaffney Collection]
