Not near any rivers or lakes, nor would be "down" on a map, relative to Downtown Detroit.

Pleasant Ridge ( Woodward Heights?? Ferndale???), just south of the bridge over I-696 looking east. Track closest to the camera is CN Holly Sub Main #1, next to it is Main #2 and the next two tracks are the run-around tracks that CN uses when they switch out the GFL Recycling plant just north of the photo

This one has a bit of a twist. While I know generally where it was taken, I don't remember exactly, so I'm hoping somebody else does. :)

On the industry track that looped around the Mistersky Power Plant which is pictured.

edit: most won't know that this was operated by the Detroit Public Lighting Commission.
Wikipedia says it's a gas operated plant.
My memory says as part of the bankruptcy, the DPL power grid was transferred to the DTE power grid.

That looks right. Thank you. I was remembering it farther downriver, but couldn't figure out why NS was there.
