Yes, indeed, its Valley Crossing where the former C&O railway line from its Parsons Yard to Athens, OH, now CSX cross the N&W line between Portsmouth and Columbus. Final run of the remaining passenger train between Columbus and Athens, OH were made in 1942. Final run of the remaining passenger trains on the N&W lline between Columbus and Portsmouth, were made in 1965.

Is that the old GTW line in Muskegon that ran to Ashley via Greenville?

It's near the Detroit Riverfront but it's not the Dequindre Cut.
There is another railroad track just out of sight. Is that other railroad that is just out of sight CSX?

This was the route to the MC 3rd Street Station.
The new MC Station, now Ford's place, is unseen in the background.
