I know it is a tiny photo but I suspect at least one person knows this location.
Former GTW depot turned party store complete with semaphore along a rail trail now.
This photo is from 2002 and I am not sure if the building is still extant.

I'm pretty sure this is at the corner of Van Dyke and 29 Mile Rd. in Romeo/Washington. I ride my bike by there often and should recognize it but I'm usually so exhausted I don't look up :oops:

This one is purrdee. Green grass and lilacs, even a crow. You can't see it from street view, so I'll narrow it down to SE Michigan, Washtenaw Co.

Nice find, you are correct. Yea, I didn't think this was findable but quite unique so I put it up.

Doesn't look like this business ahead has rail service. Looks like the google car saw this tractor ahead, and turned around as they didn't map any further.
Draw a line east and west, and this shot is located south of Lansing.

It just occurred to me that cfriedri's avatar appears to have been taken from the Judd Rd bridge as well.

I remember seeing this exact image and thinking the same thing about the tractor but I cannot remember where it was. :(

While we look for Z's location (which doesn't exist) I'll throw this one up.
