Michigan's Historic Railroad Stations by Michael H. HodgesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book nicely covers extant buildings that were depots on Michigan railroad lines. The entries are alphabetical by city with photos, images and an essay. (I think I would have liked a serial set of entries charting one or more theoretical train trips.) There is also a facts box on builder, architect, year or construction and current condition and use. Famous events (often gory accidents and murders) as well as famous personages (generally whistle stop campaigners) get special mention.
