Thank you for posting. There are some interesting pictures there from various years.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

While we’re on the subject here is an interesting website that I have found with a lot of great photos from the past including some AA photos that may or may not be in the excellent link provided by MIchael.
There is also a lot of great photos of steam locomotives from Michigan shortline and logging railroads as well as a host of other railroad photos.

"Ladies and Gentlemen - arriving on track one..." Seriously, that could have been a whole lot worse - depot got lucky.
Thanks Michael, lots of good photos there.
Man o' War
There are at least a dozen photos of this train wreck from September 1940.
Some show the building did suffer some damage like this one: https://aadl.org/N186_0021_018
Does anyone know if the old AA turntable is still back in the weeds behind the Big House? Any pics of its current state?
AFAIK it is gone. That area would be a nice place to walk sometime. I think there are still some yard tracks, ties and artifacts in those weeds.

It's been a while since I was down that way
Interesting that the building has maintained its appearance for over 100 years now, probably one of the last industrial buildings left in the city.

Upon looking at the location on Google Maps (42°16'04.8"N 83°44'43.0"W) I believe I can see a bit of the metal table peaking out from the overgrowth. Doesn't look publicly accessible however. I wonder if that area along the tracks is still owned by the railroad.
