Northline Rd. passing under NS line near Romulus.

Here is the same line where it crosses US-23 near Milan. This was the first place I looked because the bridge looks almost the same except a bit more rusted. Note the design in the concrete abutments, same as the 1st photo.

Good job Pixl!

The spur to the right used to be for Wickes Lumber many years ago. They may have done some lumber transloading there too...but probably not in a few years.

Those rails were never used by streetcars (or interurbans, for that matter).
