That was a good one. The Cedar Point and Lake Erie railroad. Never would have thought of that.
Yesireee! It's the Cedar Point and Lake Erie RR at Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH midway between Cleveland and Toledo, OH. The are four Amtrak trains, two in each directions. One is Amtrak train 48 the Lake Shore Limited from Chicago to NYC and Boston with stop in Sandusky at 4:03am every morning. Train 49 from NYC and Boston to Chicago with stop in SKY at 4:51am everyday. Train 30 the Capital Limited from Chicago to Washington DC with stop in Sandusky at 12:40am every morning and train 29 the Capital Limited from Washington DC to Chicago with stop in Sandusky at 4:02am every morning.

Shore Line Trolley Museum, East Haven CT is correct. Our GP30M4216 knows the place well, and Jetlink has even visited here before.

It is a great place to visit for sure. Many thanks to Z and especially GP30M4216 for arranging the great tour and experience I enjoyed. I just saw the post or I would have guessed it. The caternary was the help there.

Why not take a guess?

There's a big clue in there if you know what it is and how to use it.

The address on the building is 1900.
Go to google maps and assuming it's in a Detroit industrial area, center the map so that the industrial areas are in view.
Then type 1900 in the map search box and it will list streets that have a 1900 address number.
You will need to recenter the map if the suggestions don't pan out.
