Good job guys. Newport South Road is the exact spot.
Oops, I thought it was W. Jefferson/US Turnpike/Whatever the name at that point is. Im only giving myself 1/2 credit for that one.

Re: Where Is It?

I agree, it's definitely the lead into Fermi. I ride my bike over that crossing quite often.

Re: Woodhaven yard in trenton/riverview

A lot of the Ford plants still have spurs that haven't been disconnected. The MAP body shop still has ours, you can see it was cut right at the fence line, I'm assuming sometime in the 2000s as Expedition/Navigator production started winding down there and the supply chain shifted to trucks only. Th...

Re: Where Is It?

This would be looking north on the Pennsylvania belt, later the Union Belt, from around Warren or Gould Street. I believe this would be in Dearborn. I too wonder why all three phases are on one side of the tower. Correct. I took this picture in the alley just off of Warren in Dearborn. Never person...

Re: What Railroad Do You Model.......

I eventually want to build a large scale freelance layout with my own fictional railroad and keep it as modern as possible, even buying new and retiring old power as time goes on. Think Eric Brooman's Utah Belt RR if you’re familiar with that. Location set loosely on a mix of Appalachian coal haulin...

Re: table layout & protection

My suggestion would be replace your rolling stock with cheaper models that you won't necessarily care about getting damaged/destroyed.

Oh great, Vreeland road finally! Hopefully it's the single track to the flat rock south terminal and not the yard. The yard is still in great shape, the other not so much.

Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Definitive Thread

If they truly have removed the track east of 24, that could make it easy for someone to file an adverse abandonment petition with the Surface Transportation Board. It looks like the track is out and crossings paved over just east of this pin: Dropped pin https://goo.gl/maps/ghm4cXbR1CYHYHwy9 Looks ...
