Looking westerly from Will NW in Grand Rapids along side Victor S. Barnes. The GRE is half a block to the south.
That trackage west of Will Avenue NW is looking west towards the connection with the Marquette Rail formerly CSX. Just a half block north of Ann Street in Grand Rapids.

Re: Where Is It?

Zack nailed it. AARR I thought you would get it. That building is Tecumseh Packaging which is a customer on your Toledo & Adrian RR. Yes, its Tecumseh Package on west side of Evans Street in Tecumseh, Lenawee County. Final run on the remaining old NYC RR between Toledo and Jackson was made in 1938.

Re: Where Is It?

Found it - Scottville. That last image helped a good amount. Seeing the "S Main St" and realizing it's gotta be a straight east/west stretch of railroad in a town that the north/south Main St has the crossing on the south side of town. Just kept following raillines till I found this one. Indeed, Sc...

Re: Where Is It?

Muskegon area? If I were in downtown Muskegon and someone asked if the photo location was nearby, I'd say it's close enough, within 30 mins at least. Since when does it take 30 minutes to drive from Muskegon to Ferrysburg? Ferrysburg, Second St. looking north. Indeed, Second Street, Ferrysburg, Ott...

For those of you interested, here’s an old newspaper article about a derailment on the Orion Branch some years ago.
I lives in Waterford west of that derailment site above in Pontiac. That Orion Sub was part of the Cass City Sub that crosses the old NYC RR Mackinaw Branch in Oxford.

Old 1957 railroad and highway map of Pennsylvania.

Please post a 1957 railroad and highway of Pennsylvania. Check to see there was two railroads that cross PA Highway 896. I saw a railroad crossing on that highway while we on our way to Morgantown, PA for the night back on June 8, 1957. Thank you.
