That was a tough one. I looked at Bridgewater flyover view yesterday, didn't look right. Today I took a second look with Streetview and there it was.

Good job, Pixl. I knew there was a city between Saline and Manchester but couldn't think of the name :?

Thanks, and I will return the congrats to you as you are right about Monroe.
You can tell from the original picture the the compass shows the rr is running from SW to NE in an old neighborhood. I was randomly searching communities that fit that when I saw your post of Monroe. That led me to the streetview Michael posted, a smokestack next to a brick church along side the NS line.

Don't forget your asking rail fans, I'd love to live in those houses and have my furniture vibrate across the floor every night!

The house is a little small but I love the proximity to the tracks!
