You are correct. That section is used to store cars. There are no customers in Chesaning.

Spent a day out in Tecumseh over the weekend and drove right by there so it was fresh on my mind. Been by there at least a hundred times.

Maybe better to use landscape mode for landscape pictures?
That means use a horizontal picture. The sky looks really nice but is absolutely useless unless you wanted a image of the sky.
To help find the location, I enlarge the image.
The resolution doesn't even help me figure out which track the cantilever signal is for.

As I have stated before, it's better to use a PC to do this than your phone.
Take the screen shot and then crop the image.

That's a google maps photo I screenshotted on my phone, the cantilever is for the diverging track on the left.

I was wondering if you or Anti Social Railfan would get it, you are correct good sir, This is Charlotte Junction just outside of downtown Charlotte, for those who don't know, The R-Line on the left (From Augusta) Merges or Diverges (Depending how you look at it), onto the NS Charlotte District here. Pretty nice spot for videography and photography.

Here's a video I shot there a few years ago (Uploaded to my old channel):

Doesn't look like Seney. Compass shows it's more of a north/south running railline here. Is this shot in the UP?
