Re: Yale Depot photo
I remember many of the depots in the Thumb had that white paint treatment with the C&O stencil on them. Many depots on the Michigan lines were also painted gray, and if they repainted the white ones, they went to gray. I used to get a kick out of the painters if they were doing interior work. I remember when they painted inside Washington Ave tower to kind of an OD green. Not much prep. Whisk away a few cob webs and start painting! I seem to remember the agent at Croswell kept trying to get C&O to repaint that depot, to no avail. I had heard he finally filed with the health department and "the company" wasn't happy. I believe it did get repainted, though!!
