This ex-Superior Division depot and yard are still in daily use by the Escanaba and Lake Superior Railroad. The depot and yard were built in 1893 to handle the increase in traffic with the completion of the line to Ontonagon. The building next to the depot was once the trackman's and trainmen's locker rooms and before that was the dispatcher's office. The depot's exterior is little changed from when it was built and the interior still looks like it did 60 years ago. The yard was rebuilt several years ago, but the basic configuration remains from when it held iron ore jennies and log flats.
