Lake Shore & Michigan Southern (Cincinnati Northern) depot at Hudson, Michigan, on the route between Ohio and Jackson. The "Old Road" of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern also served Hudson but crossed over the CN (later LS&MS) on a bridge near this location.

Hudson was served by two railroads, the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern "Old Road" (east and west) and the Cincinnati Northern (north and south). The Lake Shore passed over the CN tracks, north of the CN depot. The Lake Shore had their own depot, separate from the CN. The CN did not interchange with the Lake Shore at Hudson. The CN had a small eight track yard, and had a water thank and coaling facilities for locomotives. On the CN, there was also a stock handling facility for four double deck cars. Stock could be fed and watered at the facility. A 4,000 bushel capacity elevator was on the CN and owned by Cutler-Dickinson Company. CN also served the Pet Milk Company, Hackett Coal Company, Hardie Manufacturing Company, Porter Lumber Company and a scrap metal site.
