Above, an old photograph of the Freight House and tower at Baldwin.  The octagon shape of this tower was unique.  At the time of this photo, the tower was probably not an interlocking tower, but rather a tall lookout tower.  The tall mast in front of the tower appears to be a ball or blade signal which controlled the crossing of the PM branches to Traverse City and Ludington.  An actual interlocking was not installed until 1929 according to Michigan Archive interlocking records.  [Mark Worrall Collection]  Below, an early shot of the Baldwin depot with two passenger trains stopping.  [Alan Loftis Collection]
