Thanks for posting this Pixl. I noticed a similar situation crossing into Canada in Sault Ste Marie where rails cross over 4 islands on the Michigan side and another 2 on the Canadian side.

Looks like 294 in the middle. So...Bensenville yard would be out of the shot on the left. I don't think the shot is in Bensenville though, perhaps Franklin Park?

All of those are in the wrong part of the region, but you got the last two digits of that number correct for the freeway.

Another hint: located within a ten-mile radius of the Loop.

Correct, but the tracks are actually former C&NW lines.

Yes.

Time for another one using the same awesome angle.

Hints: Detroit, these are Conrail Shared Assets tracks.

It was much better as a railyard. Now just another dead space. Davison yard, Terminal West. Long live the Detroit Terminal.
