THE RAILROAD GOES TO SEA

Shown above is a construction crew at work building the railroad dock that was located just north of the depot and extended out a hundred yards into Pine Lake. Long before the railroad bridge was finished a steam locomotive, the first on the Charlevoix to Petoskey section of the line, was brought in on a barge and unloaded on this dock. It was an essential cog in the wheels of commerce of that day, where products and goods of all kinds were loaded onto, and unloaded from, the many small steamers that plied the lakes.
