If Cnw8835 knows, just wait 24 hours, then post it here rather than PM. Who am i kidding with the "if" part, I'm sure he knows. Feel free to answer cnw8835 if no one else has after 8:22am on 3/3/15.

Correct. Thought I might have to give the clue that the area was going to be seeing some massive new construction soon, but good job identifying it.

Hopefully this will be just as hard... 8)

This railroad crossing is located barely outside of Michigan.

Looks like the North Detroit Ave crossing northwest of Alexis? N Detroit Ave becomes Dixie Hwy somewhere after you cross the border and the Ann Arbor is the rightmost of the 3 lines in the photo.

But of course, Jon already knew that... :mrgreen:

I would certainly say on the Michigan Line. The oxide colored signal bungalow gives that away.

Yeah, I was impressed to say the least. I did figure on the elevator giving it away initially, but those bungalows on the CR lines are certainly hints themselves!

Bungalow color is a thing?? (as in, different colors for different railroads)
