Re: Where am I?
For Jetlink, Stony Creek a couple miles east of Muir? If that's right, it's because of cnw8835's guess.
And for my where is it, it's located here in Grand Rapids. Sad that MQT3001 didn't get it.

Re: Where am I?
Nope. I'll do a few more hints. The river is the Grand River and the rails have been pulled since the early to mid 1980's AFAIK.

Winner! That is a great bridge on that trail. I love it. Photo is on the ESE side of the bridge looking NNW back toward Ionia.~Z~ wrote:Southeast side of Ionia on the line that ran from Ionia to Portland?

Re: Where am I?
Ahh down there. I've never been down that ROW, but I did know that bridge existed due to satlite images...assuming it is the PRR Muskegon Branch over Indian Mill Creek?~Z~ wrote: And for my where is it, it's located here in Grand Rapids. Sad that MQT3001 didn't get it.

Re: Where am I?
I almost think I saw a caboose sitting in a yard between Cadillac and Yuma near Harrietta while I was diving to go see the fish hatchery there. I could probably research and tell you the name of the road. Am I in the ballpark or is it a completely different caboose?

Re: Where am I?
Jetlink is correct! This is on No. 30 Rd, west of Harrietta, just east of the Harrietta State Fish Hatchery. This area is surrounded by Manistee National Forest, as my clue stated it was north(of Corunna and Ovid) in a forest.Jetlink wrote:I almost think I saw a caboose sitting in a yard between Cadillac and Yuma near Harrietta while I was diving to go see the fish hatchery there.

The caboose is in a someone's yard (or is it a museum?),which I believe it is the GLC that goes through or at least near Corunna.
I don't know how to get to it, as there is no driveway off of No. 30 Rd. It is probably accessed on a private drive.
Diving to go see fish? You're not supposed to swim with the fishies at the fish hatchery!

Re: Where am I?
Well I see some code line. It also looks like a CSX line. The sun is on the same side as the code line. So I assume it isn't in the ABS blocks between Lake O and Ensel (plus I think I would recognize the crossing if it was). Can you give me (us) an approximate date the photo was taken?

Re: Where am I?
Can't think of exact crossings out that way, but I'm guessing between AnnPere and South Lyon?
