Here is another golf course next to the rails. NM

Yes it would. Those are the bridges for West O Ave and I94 in the distance.ThatRailfanningKid wrote:That wouldn't by chance be northeast of I-94 by Mattawan would it?

I think you are on CN rails near Imlay City with S. Summers Rd. in the distance.PatAzo wrote:

Re: Where Is It?
Where be it? Street is oriented in a manner to where it would parallel the ROW if one went back into the 40's. Tornado drastically altered this small town some 10-20 years ago.

Re: Where Is It?
You got it. The depot, one of the last Michigan structures with ties to the 3 foot Ausable and Northwestern, stood in the park at the right. Tornado leveled it. A caboose is there now. D&M bought out the AS&NW in the 30's and Abandoned in the 40's after standard gauge conversion. Line was ripped up for scrap drives in the world war.BDG wrote:Comins?MQT1223 wrote:Where be it?

I got two more coming that have connections to this one, stay tuned!

"NOW WHICH WAY ARE WE GOING TO GO"?
Not that difficult to figure out. I just couldn't find anything else interesting to put up today.
There is rail in the photo if you look close.
