Maple St. & M-62, Edwardsburg, on the CN line.
Your hint helped without giving it away, but still took a while to look at all the rail in between those vertical lines.

The bridge in the photo carries the CN ex-WC/SOO track onto the approach for the lift bridge over the American Locks on the St. Mary's river. The photo view is to the west. Ontario is to the viewers right.

Mmmmm. West Pier Drive-In burger. :D
