On March 27, 1960, the last regularly scheduled passenger train powered by a steam locomotive pulled away from the Grand Trunk Western Union Depot in Durand. The depot was once the largest in rural Michigan and one of the biggest in a small town anywhere in the country. It featured a large waiting room, a dining room and a lunch counter.
