Re: Where Is It?
Ding, correcto! Here's a couple more pics from that same industry. Not sure what it used to be when it had service, but now it's a semi-truck trailer repair shop. Switch was dated in the 1980's. Trees growing in between the rails makes me think it hasn't seen service since around 2000 at the earliest.

Re: Where Is It?
Yes, indeed its the B&B Truck Trailer Repair, now All Star Equipment, on north side of 100th St in Byron Center, south of Grand Rapids on the former Pennsylvania RR main line, now Grand Elk RR. The final run of the remaining old Pennsy the Northern Arrow from Mackinaw City to Cincinnati, was made on September 4, 1961.~Z~ wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 9:10 pmDing, correcto!

Re: Where Is It?
The property and building was owned by DeBruyn Produce in 1969 when 100th St was rebuilt all-weather from the tracks to US 131. That tells me DeBruyn was trucking out a lot of produce. I vaguely remember either the installation of the siding or a rehab of the siding when DeBruyn owned it. This was after I started working at the Road Commission in 1972. I don't remember any rail traffic but that doesn't mean anything as it wasn't an area I was a regular visitor. The building is built on the "Village of Ross Station" which was a stop on the railroad. The property is currently owned by a company affiliated with Martin Transportation Systems (MTS)

SE Michigan on CN. The view looks northeast, and the road in the distance has the same name as the village the crossing is located in. This location is a few miles from a junction that was protected by an interlocking tower.
