Above, the Michigan Central Railroad depot at Bloomingdale in Van Buren County.  This depot is on the MC's line from Kalamazoo to South Haven.  Below, another photo of the depot from a distance, which provides a good view of a cattle guard.  Cattle guards were used in conjunction with fences to stop cattle from entering areas of town, or the railroad right-of-way itself.  [Both, Alan Loftis Collection]

Below, another photo of the depot, with a passenger train waiting on the main track.
