Hmm, could be tough to determine which depot that train is at, as the A.C.&Y. seems to have had nearly duplicate buildings at the stops, or at least the roofline of New London, Greenwich, and Copley depot buildings all look the same to me.

Until someone pipes in - I searched google and found the same "train" picture. It was labeled: Akron Canton Youngstown Railroad #55 11X14 Sepia Steam Locomotive Train RP Photo...

Found it (thanks to Mackaydon suggestion - searched the site)! "...G. E. Gas-Electric Commuter Car #55 at New London in 1920. Author's Collection..."

Seems through a little scouring of high profile Tigers the ball player is Cy Young winning pitcher Denny Mclain

The rail car in the third pic is a GE Company gasoline-electric motor car built before WWI. But who knows how many years those cars saw service. I'm guessing the picture is from the 30's or 40's.
