Ok, this lonely piece of rail has been intriguing me for YEARS. The first time I spotted it was shortly after moving to GR in '99. It's located at the corner of Taylor and Sweet, and from what I can gather, it's part of an old spur off the GT line, and it followed along Taylor and connected to the mainline three blocks to the south.
The thing that intrigues me the most is that it appears this old spur crossed the street. But on the other side of the street there is an old house, which looks to have been there at least 40-50 years or more, making the date of this rail/spur quite old. I see stuff like this and wonder why they left it there.
1. Looking south. The MMR line crosses Taylor about three blocks down. The crossing signal was just out of my frame to the right.

2. The old brickwork along the side of the rail is VERY intriguing!
