Looks like somewhere on the Marsh Track.

It does look like the City Market spur bridge over Plaster Creek, I believe the white sign says No Trespassing.

The site of the old Trenton Yard, was between Harrison Ave., in the distance, and now closed Elm Street(just behind the picture taker) in Trenton, actually off the connection with the former NYC (ex MC) RR. The "FN" Tower is or was just north of Harrison Avenue.

Yup. Taken from the now closed Elm street crossing. The Trenton 3 job returning from River Rouge yard. While coal train power is waiting to head north to the Rouge for servicing. And "FN" tower is directly behind the yard office.

The only customers left for Conrail now south of the Rouge are BASF, MPI, Jones, and Trenton Channel for NS coal.

You missed one. E.C.Korneffel.

Is E.C. Korneffel a frequent customer? Do they receive structural steel products?

I doubt E.C. Korneffel gets anything. Their sheeting and piling gest delivered to the job site much cheaper than by rail and w/o transloading costs. I worked with a contractor that wanted their steel piling delivered to the job site by rail and we couldn't get numbers any wheres near the truck rate.

The project I worked on had siding right on site so they wanted the rail cars delivered and they would then unload them vs having a huge number of trucks show up when ever the truckers wanted to show up. IIRC, it was 8-10 rail car loads.

Had trouble getting the mill to work with them although the mill had rail service in addition to the cost.
