Since this is railroad related(unlike all of the other threads in the Super Long Threads section), busting this out to Off Subject chit chat.

Google Maps image, where is it?

Sorry about the cropping but let's see who can guess this. And ~Z~ can't answer this one because I know he's been here more than once.

Nope. Further south and a different road.

Again, easy! I don't want to answer it right away and take it away from other people to try.

I think it is in Kalamazoo between downtown and the airport. Right by Milham park but I forget the name of the road crossing.

Jetlink is basically correct on nssd70ace's pic. His is Kilgore Rd on the south side of Kalamazoo, GDLK trackage.
Supporting photo as I used to live within 1/4 mile on the crossing.

cnw8835 PMed me the correct answer on the image I gave. Hint is: csx in eastern michigan.

I need to railfan around Novi more often, I could've sworn this was in the Flint area.

I feel like a geek for recognizing that crossing.

Randy beat me to the answer.

Yes, it is Kilgore Road looking north on the Grand Elk main. It's a nice little place.

Wixom, south east of the yard. I have a very faint memory of seeing a Cotton Belt going across that crossing.

Correct atrainguy60. As cnw8835 PMed me:

West Rd between Novi and Wixom looking north at the south end of Lincoln siding.

Google Street View shows it as Novi...but it wouldn't be the first time the "great" Google got something wrong.

That sign covered in black is the Wixom welcome sign, so the photo is likely in Novi. Didn't know if you were guessing Novi exactly or not with your comment.

Here's another one, google street map style:
