Steam locomotive No. 1160 pauses at the depot platform in Ovid, Michigan, with a long line of passenger cars stretching down the track.
The handwritten note on this image calls it “The Depot, Ovid, Mich.” and suggests it’s from around 1900 — but the exact year and railroad aren’t confirmed. In the background, you can spot rail equipment lettered for the Chicago and North Western Railway, a hint at how cars could travel far beyond their home lines.
Do you recognize this station area, or have family stories about catching the train in Ovid?
