Indeed, Second Street, Ferrysburg, Ottawa County. Final run of the remaining C&O Railway passenger trains between Muskegon and Holland with stops at Mukegon Heights, and Grand Haven, was made on April 30, 1971.Standard Railfan wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 7:54 pmSince when does it take 30 minutes to drive from Muskegon to Ferrysburg?

Re: Where Is It?
Here is a town that I don't believe we have ever used before from 1989. The tracks and some of the buildings are still there.

Re: Where Is It?
There are no grade crossings in downtown Ada (other than the spur into Amway).

Re: Where Is It?
No. We have definitely done Sturgis and Ada as well. I don't know if it helps but this is the Google Street view from 2009
Re: Where Is It?
Is it on GDLK?

Re: Where Is It?
Found it - Scottville.
That last image helped a good amount. Seeing the "S Main St" and realizing it's gotta be a straight east/west stretch of railroad in a town that the north/south Main St has the crossing on the south side of town. Just kept following raillines till I found this one.

Indeed, Scottville looking north along S Main Street towards US-10 in Mason County. Final runs of the old C&O Railway mixed trains 1 and 4 between Ludington and Saginaw with stop in Scottville, was made on November 30, 1949.~Z~ wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 4:08 pmFound it - Scottville.

Re: Where Is It?
Good one Michael. It would have taken me a lot of hints to find it.

Re: Where Is It?
Thou Art Correct. Have biked that trail a few times, and visited an old friend at that marina a few times.
Those sailboats looked a little out of place in Walker

Re: Where Is It?
This one from 1969 should be easier. A popular railfanning town. The buildings are still there but only 2 tracks remain in that spot.
