Yes, its the CSX along with N&W looking southwest from N. N Green Street in Detroit, Wayne County. The final passenger train on that line were the old C&O Ry passenger trains 11, 12, 14 and 15 the Pere Marquette between Detroit and Grand Rapids and N&W passenger trains 301-304 Wabash Cannonball between Detroit and St. Louis, MO. All these runs were made on April 30, 1971.Standard Railfan wrote: ↑Tue Dec 06, 2022 1:04 pmThis is Green Street Detroit looking southwest on CSX.

That looks like the Big Chute Marine Railway which is next to the Big Chute Generating Station, crossing Upper Big Chute Road down the shore from Big Chute Marine and the Big Chute Restaurant. Kind of in Boondocks Ontario.

Re: Where Is It?
Thou art correct pat, nice work. Yesterday I learned there is a canal system that was built to connect Lake Huron to Lake Ontario, bypassing lake Erie and Niagara falls. By the time they finished building it, railroad traffic took away a lot of it, as did the Welland canal near Niagara.
