It really does have that miniature look but AARR nailed it. 1984 in fact.

Kinchloe. The former Air Force Base. The propane transload near A&L Iron and Metal on the east side of the prison.
Yes, that is correct!

Not Pinconning, but you are on the correct railroad at least.

Ok....I said I wasn't going to post into this god awfully long thread...but I couldn't resist. Winner gets a Tippy Cone double scoop cone on me. You must be the first to PM me with the correct answer, just posting in the thread will not count. General area is not good enough. I want at least the nearest town and the road\highway that crosses the tracks in the picture.

Have fun guys!!!

Seems to match St. Helen intersection of M-76 and N. St. Helen Rd.
Your choice of camera angle added to the mystery.

This used to be the main line route of one of the early rail lines in Michigan. Today it is a popular snowmobile trail, North of GR.
