It is Ravenna. I just remembered Mark mentioned a few weeks back that a caboose would be added next to the water tower I posted a picture of.BDG wrote:Ravenna?

Re: Where am I?
You can see from the embedded rails in the sidewalk where the line passed.
Re: Where am I?
Yes, it is Ravenna. The caboose was placed at the Musketawa Trail trailhead in the last week or two. More photos on the Musketawa Trail Facebook page:Michael wrote:It is Ravenna.

Was this a main line or just a local spur or siding?Michael wrote:You can see from the embedded rails in the sidewalk where the line passed.
Re: Where am I?
It is the main line and it is west of Jackson. Two lines crossed through this town just a bit south of my photo.

Re: Where am I?
My next guess was going to be Kalamazoo (actually Parchment) but if it's north I'll try Plainview?

Ok, I found you in NE Hastings on E. Mill St. The old CK&S, known informally as the "Cuss, Kick & Swear"Michael wrote:You can see from the embedded rails in the sidewalk where the line passed.
Interesting spot that a main line would sneak between the buildings like that. Must have been gone a very long time as the grade hard to follow outside of town and almost impossible in town.

Good job Pixl. I like the Cuss, Kick & Swear!
I think based upon what I read, the line north of Hastings was removed in 1937 which is why it is difficult to follow but it served this business and perhaps others in town till 1983 http://www.michiganrailroads.com/RRHX/P ... to030B.htm

Another depot along an abandoned line. This one is around the lower middle of the state.
