This looks like Reese Jct. Photo taken from the Vassar line look south with the Sebewaing line crossing in front. A couple cars are on the connecting track in the SE quadrant. That's a small elevator on the left which hasn't had rail service in a long time. Behind the camera is the Star of the West Reese Bean Plant.

Another great picture, Michael! Is this possibly the Baldwin area?

This was an interesting line, since it wasn't connected to any other Michigan interurban line. I see the name and numbers have been edited out on the car....do you have the unedited version you could post? So cool!

The photo says 1910
I should probably post in the history section but here are a couple more
This is labeled Paw Paw River Bridge
Here is a USGS topo map from 1927 just before it's demise. You can still see the line pretty well. It goes south down to Milburg then west to Benton Harbor.

The former Michigan Central/New York Central depot at Derby Mi, on the MC's line from South Bend north to St. Joseph. Derby was about six miles south of St. Joseph. 2004.

GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.
I believe this street was the one Saturnalia was on when the Michigan Shore clipped that car as he was pacing the train. I could be wrong though.
1223 OUT! President and Founder of the Buck Creek Central, the Rolling River Route! (2012-2017) President and Founder of the Lamberton Valley Railroad, The Tin Plate Road! Proudly railfanning with Asperger's since 1996.

You are correct. This photo was about a block, maybe two away. That was, I believe, the third video of his that I show up in. I should start to get paid.
