Where Is It?

Where did I photograph this old depot last month?

That's Wolverine on the North Central State Trail. I'll be biking through there next month on the Michigander Bike Tour.

The water tower is in Ravenna on the Musketawa Trail. The replica tower was rebuilt from pickle barrels by the Friends of the Musketawa Trail. A caboose will be added next to the water tower this summer.

I think that's the entrance to the landfill near I-275 on the Michigan Line.

Your guess was good AARR but 59Caddy got it.
This is where Lily Road ends on the west side of 275

Good guess Caddy. That was going to be my 2nd guess

GLC passing thru Byron Mi.

I've been wasting time all day ( I do have better things I should be doing) searching for this one. If your interested I'll explain how I found it.
Since I've never been to this location I had to use info in the photo.
1st clue was the "GATX 2663 loco. Google showed a photo of it out on lease to GLC at some time so I had an idea what line to look at.
I started at Osmer using google earth to zoom in at every city listed as a station on RRHX.
When I came to Byron I found the depot and the roof lines looked about right, but no street view to verify it.
So using Google search for Byron Mi. depot a picture popped up and there it was.
Here is a nice photo and some comments on Facebook about the depot. Nice challenge Michael.

This is should be easy and although a hint is not needed I will add that this is the site of at least one train derailment about 15 years ago.

This looks like Birmingham/Charing Crossing

Close enough AARR. This is on the Debry Street bridge with Adam's Street in the distance. Charring Cross is just a little further north.
Back in 2000 there was a derailment between the 2 bridge
