Yes I did!
Sometimes the answer come from other sources than Google Earth/Streetview.

Lets see if anyone knows this location in Ohio. First photo is the original stone arch bridge built in the 1860's. Years later the RR built a 500 ft. stone arch tunnel under the bridge and did a massive fill nearly burring most of the original bridge to support a new double track alignment along side. See 2nd photo, it is still in use today.

Are those old code line poles that were partially cut down along the tracks or something else?

I can't remember if those are cut down poles or ties buried on end. I will be working over there Monday so I can double check.

HINT: NE Ohio.
I grew up here in this small town. As a boy my family often took us here to hike and explore. The "Arch" as we called it was a favorite. Mid to late summer when the water is down you can walk all the way thru it. All the time I had no idea there was a stone bridge above the Arch. The area was heavily forested with 100 year growth and long forgotten about. Years later as I got interested in railroad history I read about the original bridge. Hiking into the forest I was amazed to find the top of the stone bridge sticking out of the fill surrounded by trees taller than it.
Since then the area was recognized as historic and the park service cleared out all the trees making the bridge visible as you see in the 2nd picture.

It's Bedford, Ohio. Very cool Pixl

[James Sofonia]

You are right Michael. I highly recomend anyone passing thru the area visit Viaduct Park in Bedford. There are remains of old mills and sluce runs all made of stone. Lots of history here.

They are cut down poles. Some still have the steps still attached.

Interesting. I wonder why they were not removed completely, although I am glad they remain

Is this the place just north of Toledo in MI?

[Michael]

No. It was used at least up until the 1970's. Most of the roundhouse was razed in the 1990's but a small part still remains in used for storage presumably.

It's not Saginaw.

[AARR]

So its not Erie or Saginaw. How about Ludington?
