Shown above is the Detroit and Mackinac Railway morning passenger train arriving at Greenbush, Michigan in July of 1938. Enroute from Bay City to Alpena, Michigan, it carries at the rear end, a Pullman car which had been hooked on at Bay City after coming north as part of a Detroit to Mackinaw City New York Central train.
The northbound morning train has now stopped at the Greenbush station. Young Raymond Ryder and his aunt, Vera Bird can be seen leaving the D&M coach. They had boarded a New York Central train in Oxford, Michigan the night before, changed trains at Bay City early in the morning and then had ridden further north to spend a week visiting their friends, the Hascalls, at Greenbush.
Each morning D&M motorcar 202 headed south from Alpena. Here it can be seen leaving the Greenbush station enroute to its destination, Bay City. It would return northward about 3 each afternoon.
