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?Burb8145 wrote:Let's see you get this one.

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

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