I’ll second that. Believe this was part of the line that used to cross 31 until a few years ago.

Ding! that is correct, Douglas Ave and Aniline in Holland MI. Rode from home out through Holland to Holland State Park and return, just over 70 miles on the day. Michigan Natural Storage aka Ryder aka TLC doesn't appear to be getting service anymore.
Couple more views from that crossing and another nearby:

I think this photo was taken near the corner of Toledo St. and 25th St., Detroit.

Re: Where Is It?
I just saw this, so it's too late for me to respond with the location. However, my grandmother's farm was about 5 miles west of this location (closer to Pompeii), so I've been over that crossing hundreds of times back in the 60's and 70's. It's too bad the town of Ashley didn't preserve the depot. I spent many hours in that depot as a kid learning all about railroading on the Ann Arbor and the GTW. For me, the Ann Arbor is Alcos in the Wabash scheme, and GTW RS-1 Alcos 1950-1951 along with other switchers that plied their Greenville Sub.

Re: Where Is It?
Yes, that the crossing of M-57 and the GLC RR just southeast of Ashley. Final run of the remaining old Ann Arbor RR passenger train between Toledo, OH and Elberta/Boat Landing was made on July 19, 1950.Buster Manning wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 6:29 amlooks like the M-57 crossing of the GLC mainline just south of Ashley

Noppers, not Owosso/Shiawassee county area.
As a hint, it's within a 50 mile circle of Bangor MI.
