W. Burt Road crossing with the GLC Railroad in St. Charles Township, Saginaw County, Midway between Chesaning and St. Charles looking west. Also, the final run of the remaining old passenger train which were train 390/391 between Jackson and Bay City with regular stops at Lansing and Owosso, flag stops at Chesaning and St. Charles and regular stop at Saginaw, were made on Christmas Eve/Christmas morning, 1959.

Good job David, AARR and Rodney on that last one.

CD, yours looks like an auto salvage yard or maybe an impound lot and likely in Detroit.
