History
Auburn Junction was at the junction of three railroads near Auburn, hence the name.[3][4]
At Auburn Junction, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the Eel River Railroad, and the Fort Wayne, Jackson & Saginaw Railroad all met at grade. The only thing that remains of Auburn Junction today is the B&O trackage, now owned by CSX and a half-mile section of the Ft Wayne, Jackson & Saginaw that serves as an industrial spur to two local businesses.
A post office was established at Auburn Junction in 1884, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1931.[5]
