| 説明 | Men's Aid April 1-16Date: April 1, 1916Source Type: PostcardPublisher, Printer, Photographer: Shook Photo (Arthur Waite Shook)Postmark: NoneCollection: Steven R. ShookRemark: This photograph was taken on April Fools Day in 1916 outside the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway depot and is believed to represent the section crew.The following news item appeared in the April 4, 1907, issue of The Chesterton Tribune: A New Depot Needed Here.The accommodations furnished the patrons of the Lake Shore railroad at this station are becoming intolerable, and the Business Men's association should take some step towards calling the attention of the railroad company to the conditions here. Sunday more than fifty people were at the depot awaiting the westbound evening train.The wind was raw, and the little ten by twelve room that is used as a waiting room could not hold all those who sought shelter. This is almost a daily occurrence. This station paid into the treasury of the company during the year 1906 $12,200 for passenger fares alone; more than one thousand dollars a month, and an increase over the year 1905 of $2,800. These figures would be greater than they are if the accommodations are better for the reason that many Chesterton people use the Michigan Central and the Pere Marquette lines. This station should have a suburban train to Chicago and a new depot. Upon the welfare of the towns along the Lake Shore line is dependent to a degree that prosperity of the Lake Shore company, and it should be the duty of the officials to see that nothing is permitted that will inure these towns. Unless reciprocal relations are entered into and a spirit of interest displayed by the railway officials, our town board will be justified in using the power in their hands to call the attention of the company to the fact that there is such a town as Chesterton on the map, and that it needs a new depot.Source:The Chesterton Tribune, Chesterton, Porter County, Indiana; April 4, 1907; Volume 24, Number 1, Page 1, Column 3.
