Since I have been skipped, I'll give some hints. (Mline and other detroiters can guess now)

Not skipped, I worked on it for a while including the NW Detroit area. I'll give it another look.

No I don't mind, I just like giving hints. Plus not using street view is more of a challenge for you all.

One of the few segments of the former Cincinnati Northern that's still in use. A lot of the former railroad is abandoned in favor of other routes.

Your photo is at Lonyo and Radcliffe Street, which is on the Detroit/Dearborn border, and that job is delivering cars to Kenwal Steel Company on the Shared Assets.

LV-9 and that is correct. We stumbled upon it from Farmington Hills after leaving Toledo via delray. Knew a detroiter would pipe up eventually.

If its South Lyon that would indicate the former Michigan Air Line (GTW) wouldn't it?
