Though art correct, Huckleberry in Flint it is. It's just a mess up of Google's to make the tracks look that way, and thought it was interesting as it would clue you in that it's something to do with narrow gauge :)

While not on the trackage connected to Holland, it is somewhere north of Holland, but not close to Holland at all.

Agreed, Park Dr crossing with the GLC RR and Keystone Road in Garfield Twp, Grand Traverse County, west of Traverse City. Final run of the former C&O Railway passenger trains 25/26 between Grand Rapids and TC were made on October 29, 1966.

Negative......but if extremely lucky, a foamer would see an NS engine on this track.

There's also a jet in the background that had just taken off.

Negative, in Detroit. See upper left corner of photo. This track does not seem to be worked regularly and seems to be extremely difficult to see movement. Although, the branch line sees regular movement by 2 different railroads.
