An early view of the
Detroit & Mackinac depot at Millersburg. Note the freight cart
on the side of the depot, and the stairs leading up to the freight
door. The raised platform in front of the freight door allowed
unloading carload freight directly from a box car or express car.
The ladder was used by the operator/station agent to add oil to the
train order signal which protruded from the roof on a pole.
The signal was likely controlled by the pipe through the roof.
Ladders were common in photos of early depots. [Alan Loftis

Millersburg depot in the distant right of the photo. This photo
appears to be taken on the "team" track in that village about
1920. |
