Below, the former coaling station at Lake.  Lake was approximately mid-point for filling steam locomotive tenders between Saginaw and Ludington on the Pere Marquette.  With the availability of water, there was no doubt a water tower and standpipes at this location for filling the tenders.   The coaling tower still stands in 2005, one of about 15 which still exist in Michigan.  [Alan Loftis]
