I think this is the asphalt station at Marathon Refinery in Detroit/Melvindale.

Anybody remember where and which crossing this nasty crash took place? Driver was suicidal and drove right into the side of the train and was killed on impact. My dad actually grew up with this guy, and my grandma/great grandma's house is right next to these tracks. One of them HEARD the impact. Watched trains here as a kid for, but from the opposite side where this mangled truck came to rest. Hints are available, but you shouldn't need one if you know where to look.

Didn't see you posted somthing first Michael...

Man Michael your on a roll. Since no one has even taken a guess at this I guess I will mention that this is on the Holly Sub.

I didn't mean to steam roll over yours but I had already cheated and saw the link for yours so I already know the answer

Just looked at the image name, but I figured it was near Holly anyway since you mentioned you used to live down that way. BUT you asked for the crossing, not the area, which is way beyond my capability as I've only been in the area a few times and don't know road names too well.

Sorry.
