Me guessing this spur did not see much service by the condition its in. What a waste.

Correct. Caught my eye while looking for something else. About 2 miles of railroad in good condition that goes to no one.

Not Ithaca. Ithaca only has one bridge. Here you can see a second one out there.

Good job Pixl. There are other bridges in AA but that one seemed like the toughest to guess.

Earlier today I noticed about three bridges in AA that looked the same, but I passed over this one. Looked in other cities but no other bridges with this signature. Finally a second look at AA and there it was!

The Google Streetview car even managed to catch a train going by on this bridge.
The colors the area is painted could be a clue.

This goes under Conrail's River Rouge yard, C.P. "YD" on the Detroit line and "Coolidge" on the CN's Shoreline sub.

I want to say Gaines just based on that fence.

11am edit: checked out street view map, and yuppers, that was Gaines. Took a photo on the north side of that depot once of a northbound.

Another railroad under the water. If you look closely you can see the remains of a trestle below the surface crossing this lake. Someone may recognize it as this railroad has been discussed elsewhere on this board, but if necessary I'll throw out a few hints.
