Am I allowed to guess?
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

Re: Where am I?
Ok, so far no correct answers. And it seems most of the guesses are for lines that are still in service. So here's a view from the ROW looking east...
And to make things even easier, here's a shot looking west with remnants of a much lower interurban grade paralleling the old railroad ROW on the north side:

Re: Where am I?
I was right it is abandoned. Could be a great candidate for my new Youtube series, IF someone guesses what it is. I have no clue,

Re: Where am I?
West side of the state,abandoned line, not yet a trail but is in the planning stage, former interurban line next to it and there is another one very similar nearby on the same line. Should be easy with all these clues.

Yes. Now you have to figure out where the bridge is and what it is spanning.MQT1223 wrote:Is that part of the old GT line to Grand Haven?Raildudes dad wrote:West side of the state,abandoned line, not yet a trail but is in the planning stage, former interurban line next to it and there is another one very similar nearby on the same line.

Re: Where am I?
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Brandy Creek... especially since the line crosses it at least twice and it is very close to 96 at one point.

Re: Where am I?
It's actually Crockery Creek, but you guessed it.

Re: Where am I?
Thats weird, I saw a Brandy Creek as well. Crockery has some spectacular bridges over it. The PRR bridge in Ravanna is quite large for such a small creek. Looks like if your gonna throw someone for a loop on this thread your gonna have to do abandoned, undeveloped ROW's.J T wrote:It's actually Crockery Creek, but you guessed it.

I see it says Brandy Creek on Google maps, but I'm pretty sure there is a sign along the roadway that says "Crockery Creek." Plus, I trust bingmaps a little more for accuracy (I've seen some ridiculous errors on google maps over the years).

Re: Where am I?
Per photos I have seen, the interurban had a significant bridge there as well. I'm inclined to say that ROW has worn a lot over the years.

Would you agree that the interurban bridge probably got torn down by the power company?MQT3001 wrote:Per photos I have seen, the interurban had a significant bridge there as well. I'm inclined to say that ROW has worn a lot over the years.
