Milwaukee Jct? The tracks are gone after 40 years. Not Milwaukee Jct but getting close.

Not that close to Milwaukee Jct. The area is now unrecognizable relative to this scene.

The old Holly Subdivision in Detroit. That is where the tracks turned north from Brush Street and City Yard.

Parts of the cigarette truck chase sequence were filmed in downtown Los Angeles.

Axel Foleys apartment in Detroit was also in Los Angeles at 685 Witmer Street.

It's on the Manistique Subdivision. No customers left in the town though. Even the 1600 foot siding appears to be removed. Saturnalia got a nice video complete with drone footage in the spot back in 2016.

There was even a third track along Main Street with a short siding for this:

They have since been moved a few miles west.

I'd have to say Rapid River, MI. No idea how I was able to find that though, with the city name in the bottom right of the photo :) Difficult one for us for sure prior to that help.

I had found it. But I make a point at times to let others have at it.

This location sans the fair was posted before according to my memory.
However a forum search doesn't get the same result as my memory :shock:
