This one, which I know to be well over 50 years old, is still in excellent shape. Here is one picture new. I will have a couple more in a short while.
Classic! Built back when depots were a proud part of their community. What's the history behind this one? What RR built it? Who owns/operates it now? Boxcab E50
Here is a link that will give you a little info on the Niles Station. http://www.trainweb.org/rshs/GRS%20-%20Niles,%20MI.htm
Here's the Niles depot down the road from my house: This is where all the Charlie Chaplin movies were made, before they moved the movie industry to Hollywood.
So it was Michigan Central. Now I can look it up in an old Official Guide, and see where this is located. Robert- Is your Niles depot still trackside? Used perhaps by Amtrak? If so, it's unusual to see all the fancy flowers, etc. BTW- Wasn't there a tower also named Niles? Or am I thinking of the wrong RR? Boxcab E50
