That building housed a former Detroit Fire Department Engine Company.
I bet that won't help much
It is also one of the newer fire stations built in Detroit.
That isn't saying much

Indeed, Old CSX West Detroit Branch cross Manor just south of Grand River Ave aka old US-16 in Detroit, Wayne County.

Almost all DFD firehouses have a similar roof structure and have hose drying towers.
I don't think any are open that have/had a fire lookout/hose drying tower.
Engine 49 established 1924 and disbanded 2012.

It was the road signs for the railroad crossing that told me where to start looking.

This one should be easy

Apropos for today, you're really cold

The "really cold" helped. Figured it was a border crossing in detroit, but it's Point W Dr in Sault Ste Marie.

Yes indeed. At first glance one might think it a defect detector.
But it's used to inspect the inside of the cars for things that don't belong in the cars.
I was surprised to find there is none at the Detroit River Tunnels.

I'm going to guess Detroitland. Thought maybe an older Jackson photo but doesn't appear to be.

Is this in the 313 area code

Considering where the power is based, 313 it is. Was a busy double track there, back in the day.

Back a long time ago I went with the neighbor to help them load used railroad ties at the yard just to the west.

313 Area Code + NS on Branchline = Must be on "Shared" Trackage

Gable Street in Detroit on the CR Terminal West Industrial Track to Highland Park?
