780 Oak St in Wyandotte. I hadn't been there before, but heard some members of the site gather near here so went browsing ages ago for this spot. Saw that depot and figured that was it.
You got it Zack. The depot was in service from 1891 to 1959.

Mr. Bentley knows this one, it's Guardian Glass in Carleton :D That's the Lincoln Secondary looking southwest toward Carleton where it connects with CSX's Saginaw Sub.

I saw that same bridge last night, but unless the white poles are new, it doesn't match up with the 2008 street view. Surely could have been added recently though...hmm....

You got it exactly right GTW although I know it was tricky because even though I got the image from Google Maps it was from the "photo sphere" at the bottom not the Street View and so this photo is from May of this year compared to the 2008 Street View.

This feature may have been around a while but on my computer, using Chrome, I noticed just this morning that you can toggle back and forth between older and newer street view images in the top left corner. Assuming of course, that there is more than one street view image available.

While looking for Michael's bridge I found this one, a close match but different location. Anyone want to find where this one is?

I would guess that's the Adrian & Blissfield bridge over the River Raisin alongside US-223 in Blissfield.

NS Detroit line #2 main in Rockwood. The sign on the tall pole is the give away, I think ;-)
