Where Is It?

[James Sofonia]

I like these historic ones. Steiner, Michigan six miles North of Monroe on the NS.

Correct.

Conrail RR-25 switching Shell Oil on the Short Marsh on Friday afternoon.

Although you see a bombed out factory, this spur also serves two large customers, one behind the camera, the other in the distance to the right. Located less than 6 miles from milineamtrak's location.

Shouldn't this thread be called "What did I google?" Very few photos are actually photos taken by the person who posted it.

Aw c'mon Jochs. It's fun. Try to find my last "Google" location and I'll put up a local shot tomorrow.

Is this the old Detroit Union from North Yard to the Detroit River front. It terminates at a produce company near Gratiot.

Sorry, not near the Detroit waterfront.

McGraw crossing CSX in Detroit. Coca-Cola on the right and Thyssen Steel behind you on the right.

I don't think Thyssen gets rail service anymore. Coca-Cola and the scrap metal yard (Kimmel?) are the only customers.

I tried that earlier in this thread and no one cared. So, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

People usually don't get the personal photos I post because you cant verify them in google. Or they are just "horrid" photos for the theme.
We are going 1984 in here, no free will! Big Brother is censoring what you can post!!!

80mac, You are right on message. I did assume that Thyssen listed as the largest steel co. in the world would ship by steel rail rather than rubber. Coke had a few tankers on their siding in the photo, I'm guessing corn syrup.

Here is another one from the "Rails in the Pavement" series. Real photos, no Google Earth here although it can be verified by Street View. You probably need to live in this town to know where this is, but one of the newspapers might help.

Thyssen received steel coils by rail for a while. But I haven't seen any cars there in years. .

Wow,how did you find this so fast living in Marquette?

[James Sofonia]

Guess where it be. Hint is that the area to the right isn't there anymore. People who know me need not apply.

What happened to this one? Maybe time for some hints. Nice picture!
