Didn't take long to find where CMS was with a google search.
You could have looked at the trailer parked at the dock like I did.
Well, when I saw both the stack and the trailer with CMS, it was only a matter of time before finding out exactly what (and where) CMS was located.

Where be it? Not accessible via Google Maps street view, but certainly accessible via admin bicycle.
I feel like I should know where this is, but it's turning out to be a tough one.

Um, what? I see there's a Advanced MicroNutirent place near Reese. There's an Arthur Township way up near Clare too but no rail service.

It is somewhere within 40 miles of Grand Rapids that I've ridden via bike a few times.

Back when there was a railroad station there west of Reese (where ADM and MicroNutrient are) they called that spot Arthur. It’s still referred to as Arthur.

Muskegon area?

Ah, gotcha AARR. Wasn't aware that area was called Arthur.
Not Muskegon area... definitely within 40 miles of GR, in fact, a lot closer than 40. "Within" is definitely the key word.

Looks to be just east of the corner of Nason & Voorheis NW in Grand Rapids.

Good find! I never would have found that. Even in the satellite view the tracks aren't visible.

Though art correct! Tracks used to curve and connect up to the tracks north of Ann St. Few photos from there:

Where be it? Not in Michigan. Thought the track layout was pretty interesting.

I don't have a guess but that looks like someone's model railroad layout

Definitely not a model railroad pic - this be a Google satellite pic.

The tracks share the bridges with a roadway so industrial trackage. Greenery looks a little scrubby so I say northward. Water is dirty like a river but a lake like shore line. So I am guessing a mine site in Ontario.

See I was thinking somewhere along the Ohio river. Cincinnati area perhaps?

The Old Town branch was part of the old LS&MS RR that ran between North Lansing and Hillsdale. Final run of the remaining passenger train 33/34 between North Lansing and Hillsdale. Actually, it was a mixed train. Turner Street crossing in Lansing, Ingram County.
