I really want to say this is somewhere on the Ann Arbor Railroad but I've come up empty handed as far as that goes...

Correct. The sign is a very faded Penn Central logo.

Not on the AA. It is on a class 1 mainline track, about 5-6 trains per day.

Nice work! Last CSX crossing in MI before hitting the Indiana border. Looks like a peaceful spot to sit..just wish we had more traffic to watch go by there.

I think I just saw this with the tracks in place. I'll guess Bronson.

I don't think 30 minutes is a record, but Bronson it is. Nice job, AARR!

Just out of curiosity, does it seem like we're running out of Michigan locations yet, and would I be out of line to suggest we include some of the surrounding states in the thread, especially since we're playing in the Off Subject Chit Chat forum now, not the Super Long threads forum?

You guys are getting good. Verified Montgomery was right too. I don't think we are anywhere close to running low on MI locations, and would rather keep doing MI ones until some ohio guys start posting there.
Clue for this one is that the address in upper left is correct, it's on Main St in some town.. former ROW shown of course:

It looks like 227 Main Street, in the bustling metropolis of Hanover...Michigan.
