Where Is It?

Guess I might as well start doing this too. Where is it?

Right on. Now days the crossing is exempt, that street view was taken in 2012.

That is the place
Here is one of the entrances

E Crosstown Parkway in Kalamazoo. It's the old lead into L.C. Howard's warehouse.

My guess is it's bluewater chapter because there's a locomotive on each end.

That wouldn't by chance be northeast of I-94 by Mattawan would it?

[James Sofonia]

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.

Correct , very good.

[James Sofonia]

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

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.

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.

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

Good one PM1223. So that Caboose is just out of frame to the right of your photo right?

"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.

Looking west on M-66 and M-72 toward US-131 after cross the Great Lake Central RR line just south of Kalkaska.
