Do you remember when Dick Jensen's GTW 4-6-2 5632 wintered at Milwaukee Junction? I too rode behind the Pacific, CN's Northern [[probably 6218) and ex RDG 4-8-4 2100 out of Brush Street on Michigan Railroad Club excursions.

No, the depot wasn't much but again, except for the 4 inter-city trains, it didn't need to be much. It was basically a commuter station in my time. GTW really didn't push the inter-city passenger business until 1) owner Canadian National instituted the Red, White and Blue fare plan, and 2) New York Central's Detroit-Chicago service became so bad that the GTW, with their longer route, could be competetive with their Mohawk service.
