Where Is It?
Re: Where Is It?
Interesting bits. The box cars appear to be on arch bar trucks. The MKT car nots it has air brakes. The CB&Q car just above the shed roof says it is a forty foot boxcar.

Is it Newaygo?
Re: Where Is It?
My initial thought was N. Maple Rd. over the Huron River on the northwest side of Ann Arbor, as the layout is very similar. But then I read the description and...nope!

Re: Where Is It?
The depot and track in the fore ground are gone. The curve the train in the background is on is still in service.
Re: Where Is It?
I have absolutely no clue where this is, but the goat or ram or whatever it is pulling the dude around makes me think its up north
Re: Where Is It?
I'm guessing that goat and cart are in front of the old White Cloud, Michigan, Pere Marquette Depot. It is on the west side of Michigan's lower peninsula, north of Grand Rapids.

Re: Where Is It?
White Cloud is correct. The track along the depot went south west to Freemont. The curve the train is on heads south for Newaygo and Grand Rapids.
Some additional views.

Re: Where Is It?
My first guess was the 400 State Trail in Wisconsin with an old mile post showing miles to Minneapolis but the mileage does not work out. Second guess was the Canal Feeder Trail in Sydney OH but again I can't make the mileage work out.

Re: Where Is It?
It's in a state in-between the two states you mentioned. I have biked the canals around Sydney a few times though, so good guess.

Re: Where Is It?
Then it must be the Erie Lacawana Bike Trail, 241 miles from Marion.

Re: Where Is It?
Yes sireee, indeed its just west of Griffith, IN on the old Erie Lackawanna RR ROW. My best railfan friend and I were there in March, 2019. Final run of the remaining old Erie Lackawanna RR passenger trains 5 and 6 the Lake Cities between Chicago and Hoboken, NJ, were made on January 5 and 6, 1970.
Re: Where Is It?
That was a good railroad geography test.
