Eugene D. Baker worked for many years as a conductor on the Pere Marquette Railroad's Toledo Division (now the Saginaw Subdivision of CSX) that ran between Saginaw and Toledo, Ohio. As his train passed through Highland he would often wave to family and friends along the tracks. This photo, believed to have been taken circa 1910, shows Eugene D. Baker in a derby, coat and bib overalls at the far left . The locomotive pictured, No. 363, was one of a series of 2-8-0 Class C-1 engines built by the American Locomotive Co. that entered service on the Pere Marquette Railroad in 1903.
