The Lapeer Grand Trunk Depot was nearly knocked down after a freight train derailed into the building in July 1970. Luckily, there were no injuries. The mishap occurred at a time when no one was present inside the building or on the passenger platform. Penn Central agent Ab Curtice ( left) and Grand Trunk agent Jerry LaFountain survey damage to the building. Photo provided by Charlie Whipp of Lapeer.
