Posted by Gene Zank on the RRHX bulletin board on 1/6/2006:
The predecessor to the Pere Marquette Railroad had few facilities at Howard City. A small roundhouse and turntable were probably used until about 1887 or 1888, and a small yard. The depot was shared by the GR&I (and later the Pennsylvania Railroad) until 1943 when the Pere Marquette abandoned the line east to Lakeview.
