Is it the door of the old Dorr station?

The first photo is of an abandoned train trestle just south of this town

Right next to it is to an abandoned car bridge appropriately named Railroad Street.

Too easy, considering it was the wrong answer to another photo today - Mendon.

Funny, I chose Mendon exactly for that reason but it didn't throw you off :)


How about this one in SE Michigan?

Actually, I think it would have been very tough just based on the photo alone but I noticed the photo was sequentially just 4 away from your last photo of the elusive bridge and so I checked further and noticed they were taken only half an hour apart. I knew it had to be Dorr. :)

Very clever Michael. There is all kinds of hidden info to work with.
I don't know how many cell photos I put up before I found out all the meta data that rides with it. Some of you guys had easy guesses before I shut that off. :) :)

Very true. Looking at the details/properties of a cellphone photo will reveal the Latitude & Longitude where the photo was taken.

I thought since it was in my back yard and I caught it just a few minutes after it was posted I should leave it for others. Great shot with that long lens, I didn't catch it at first from that angle. Nice job.

I'm in Ohio visiting family this weekend, anything I should check out in the Cleveland area?
