Depot |
Description: |
Here is the Coffeeville Depot during the summer of 1982. This railroad was abandoned this same year from Oxford to a mile or two north of this location. The tracks were removed from downtown Coffeeville about two years after this picture. You can already see the pile of ballast that is probably from the abandoned portion. This depot is now gone. Also in the picture, the old Coffeeville Hotel, which is also gone. The main line is between the depot and the hotel. The track in the foreground is the house track. The last passenger trains to stop here were No. 125 and 126 local passenger in August of 1941. The last agent to work out of here was in March of 1970. |

scrapping the motors |
Description: |
The MSV's two engines are being scrapped in their old yard at Bruce. Too bad these engines could not have got out of Bruce before the line was abandoned as these engines were kept in excellent condition. They probably never pulled more than 15 cars at a time and were always kept in a building or under a shed. |

South Siding Switch |
Description: |
Looking north at the location of the former Hudsonville south siding switch. All of the date nails I found in the switch ties were from 1952. This siding would hold 64 40 ft. cars and was removed sometime between 1969 and 1973. |
