Re: Where am I?
Pixl is very close. USM occupies the east section of the building but someone else occupies the back. A scrap metal company was back there and shipped by rail, then it closed, but it appears someone else moved in but are not using rail. This used to be the GE Tank plant and shipped a lot by rail.

Good job guys
WHO AM I???
Instead of a "Where am I?", how about a "WHO AM I?". This picture is of a famous railfan from Michigan. He loved trains. Can anyone guess who he is?

Looks like a mug shot to me. Is there a warrant out for this guy?NYCMan wrote:Instead of a "Where am I?", how about a "WHO AM I?". This picture is of a famous railfan from Michigan. He loved trains. Can anyone guess who he is?
Re: Where am I?
No warrant out for this guy at this time, since he is deceased. And, since he is deceased, he can't be PIXL!

Re: Where am I?
What is this bridge spanning besides Southern Ave? I thought it might be a canal because it looks so straight, and spent a lot of time looking around the Clinton/Kalamazoo canalMichael wrote:Another bridge photo

Townline ahead or west. West Detroit behind or east. This is the Michigan line and just to the left is the west end of Conrails Livernois yard. Miller road bridge is beyond the rr bridges and C.P.Lou is to the right of the picture.Pixl wrote:What is this bridge spanning besides Southern Ave?

It looks, to me, like the track that runs from upper left to lower right is missing
