Re: Where Is It?
Looked like somewhere on Grinnell or French, but not finding it yet. Browsing google street view - man, that area of detroit is pretty run down.
On the plus side, found one of many boats:

Re: Where Is It?
To be far you can pick any random street in Detroit and probably see something similar

Re: Where Is It?
It looks like that spur went all the way down to Merkur Steel down at the corner of French & Madola although most of the building is gone now.
Re: Where Is It?
I had to google where Madola Street was. It's more like a grassy alleyway now. That whole area off Van Dyke across from Forest Lawn Cemetery only has a few occupied homes left.

Pretty easy to find...for me.
The September, 2011 google street view even has the correct billboard graphic.

Re: Where Is It?
Indeed, Lynch Road, just east of Van Dyke Road, Detroit. The spur was off the connection with the Conrail Share Asset Terminal East Spur.

Re: Where Is It?
Surprised nobody going for this one.
So, Eastbound 8 Mile @ Mt. Clemens sub.
What gave it away...
Not too many at grade crossings with a one way 4 (or more) lanes wide roadway.
