Emerson Station was located on the Detroit & Mackinac's Hillman Branch at a location where the former line crossed state route M-32. The railroad owned a gravel pit here, which they sold in 1919, reserving part of the plant for future railroad gravel use.
In 1929, the Hillman branch was cut back to Emerson. A stockyard was located at this location, which continues to exist even to today. In 1967, the line was again cut back from Emerson to Paxton quarry.
