I would guess this is Eckles Road (looking north) on the CSX between Schoolcraft and Plymouth Roads, in Livonia/Plymouth.

At last there was one from my neck of the woods, although I haven't been by that location (Eckles Road) for several months.

Well I don't know where it is. The track looks narrow guaged. But it is hard to tell for sure in the picture. If it were a narrow guaged line that sure would limit the possibilities.

Not narrow gauged. As best as I can tell from aerial photos and ground shots, this is still an active customer on this spur unless they stopped shipping in the past couple years. So there's a hint, it is a spur.

Nice work, correct. I've driven down the old routing of US131 many times, but never drove east off the path to check out GDLK's trackage in Constantine, so was surprised to find this spur when I was looking for a good where is it.

Yea I thought narrow gauge at first too. But the only two operating I can think of don't run E-W. The Huck runs SW to NE, and the Toonerville is mostly straight N with no road crossings.
Good spot Z.
