Someone posted this picture using my name as an April Fool's joke so I am going to guess at it like the rest of you.

It look like the Walled Lake area.

Found it! Its Ladd Road looking west along the rail trail in Walled Lake. The building to the left is or was the American Plastic Toys all in Walled Lake, Oakland County. The final run of the remaining mixed train between Pontiac and Jackson was made on December 31, 1955.
