Bumping this up, figuring Jon probably has the answer by now...

I believe its Keegan Road near Emmett.

I'd have taken the west end of the siding at Emmett, but it's nice to see someone other than cnw8835 get it.

It's not that easy. Flying around with Google is an interesting challenge. Unless you have been there, how would find a signal box with graffiti in a fairly plain photo. At least with Google Earth. Streetview, and RRHX Maps everyone can play no matter where you live.

I just looked at Munger. A good guess but no.

Point taken.

I used to play a variation on this on another site, where someone would post a screenshot from Google Earth and the goal was to be the first person to figure out where the screenshot was from. As long as they didn't venture outside the Lower 48 it was a lot of fun...

Posting something from within 10 miles of your home helps me narrow it down. Like posting something from Emmett if you live in Port Huron.

The above photo is not Litchfield but you are within 20 miles

Is it between Coldwater and Sturgis? Burr Oak or Bronson perhaps?

It's a great picture and I appreciate your hints. Is it on a short line?

You were on the right track AARR but Connor got there first.
That little ice cream shop on the left is called Side Tracks

Good job Connor! I've been to Marshall once and don't recall that section of track although I knew there was an older unused track around there somewhere. Marshall was going to be my next guess.

Michael,

You threw me off with that one. You said it was not a short line, so I'm looking all over at the NS line and I see well maintained regularly used tracks, yet your photo showed rusty weed grown rails. After coming back a second time I finaly found your ice cream store on a old siding.
