Let's try this one - I don't believe Buster ran a loco on this segment when it was in place :)
Corunna?
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

So Corunna is not correct. AARR is on the right track though, thinking it's from a recent bike ride.

It was a lucky guess. Corunna and Carland were my first choices. I picked Ovid because I knew ~Z~ biked there recently.

The above shot is looking west from Mill Street, Final run of the remaining old GTW RR passenger trains 22/57 between Durand and Muskegon, was made on October 1, 1960.

I can still remember watching an Ann Arbor RS-1 switch that elevator back in the early 60's. Looks like switching it now would be pretty impossible!

Even into the early 1990's they were loading box cars with bagged beans. And IIRC there was a small fertilizer transload here into the 2000's.

ConrailDetroit is correct, Millbury Ohio is the spot for David's photo.
