I'm surprised I even was close. I just put two and two together to even guess. Never been to Delray, but I probably should go at some point.

Was looking for a little more details but you got it. Delray is the busiest junction in Michigan. No trip to Detroit is complete without visiting Delray.

Next one.

It is within the city of Detroit on Conrail Share Assets RR.

It looks like the old Detroit Connecting near CR's North Yard that crossed GTW

It is on Conrail.

Near the Ford or GM Assembly plant in Detroit

GM is a warmer direction.

GM Hamtramck plant in Hamtramck. All I see are railroad bylevel and trilevel auto carrier cars in the background.

Is it possibly an old spur on Beltline east?

On Conrail Share Assets Beltline Extension or the Terminal East (former DT RR) Spur?

It's on the Beltline Industrial (the track to Lagrassi IIRC), I think. He's asking if we can find the industry it went too or road it's near.

Farr Street in Detroit. Same spot/crossing you used for a "Where is it" back in August.

Found it finally. Farr Street, west of Foster Street, in Detroit, Detroit City Schools district, Wayne County. That's siding off the connection with the CRSA Beltline Extension, behind the picture taker.

Correct. Farr St on Conrail's Beltline looking in another direction during a different season.

The track is long unused and doesn't connect to the Beltline anymore but still crosses the street.

1950's. If you know your depots you should recognize the first picture. The second is a different view not as recognizable but interesting...once you know where it was.

Kalamazoo. There are two towers in the distance in the first pic, the farther one being BO.

Kalamazoo, looking east along the old NYC (former MC). N. Burdick Street in the background along with two towers with the BO Tower the farthest one.

ConRail locomotive shop?
