Don't think it's Alpena, but that building in the background appears to say City Hall as best as I can tell. This place doesn't look much like the size of a city though. Elevator in the background that this line probably used to serve.

EWRice. I wanted to mention that since you took that photo with your smartphone, a Samsung Galaxy phone, the exact GPS position is in the properties of the photo. In the future, you can remove that information though before you post it. I am curious if anyone will get this one.
Well, shows how technologically intelligent I am. I will have to figure out how to delete that information before posting any more. Might explain how people have quickly guessed some very obscure locations.

Where be it? I wonder if Michael did a similar one to this before, but his old photos linked to Comcast don't load anymore.

It's Leslie. Although I recognized it, Leslie is on the back of his shirt.
I was bummed when Comcast or Xfinity stopped free file hosting. It would be nice if all those old photos where still there!

Didn't think the back of the shirt was as readable as it was, but good work.
Lets give this one a try. The ends of two tracks are seen:

This unused railroad spur connects to a pretty busy RR line for one of the class 1's in Michigan. It's Michigan busy at least, not Indiana busy :) So not Muskegon.

Thou art correct. Looks like the facility's parking lot got some work the last couple years, removed the small guard shack, but unknown if any business is operating out of there now.

It's humbling when it says "An easy one" but I don't have a clue. Is it in Detroit?

Edit: Ok, I found it. Thank you Google.

Pennsylvania Ave in Lansing, going under CN. I just saw some pics on reddit about that bridge a couple days ago, hadn't looked up where in Lansing it was, but I see it now.
