Where Is It?

[M.D.Bentley]

I-75 was built during the 50's & 60's through here. Not sure if there was a bridge here before that.

How old is that spur that it needed a tell tale?

Here is a topo map from 1952 of the spur which predates I-75

The depot is gone, only the two tracks remain today. NLM

Grawn, mi. If I am seeing this right, we are looking west north west, and us31 would be just to the other side of the train, many years later.

EW you are correct. I find this location a bit unusual as they put the station in the middle of the run around tracks (still there today). Seems most stations are on one side or the other giving better access.
The tracks run pretty much straight East/West in this area, and yes no US-31 yet. I can't even see if there is a dirt road there yet.

The first hint is somewhere in Ohio.

Is this available on street view? If not I'll have to go down to Ohio and start driving around.

This is one in the SW part of Michigan

Whoa, that's a crazy narrow approach to that bridge. Now I want to go drive through it!

The bridge is the Chicago Line. It looks like the bridge over the road that runs by where the waterpans were east of Edgerton. Google shows it as County(?) Road 6.

Correct

That one was fun! Did you happen to get any shots of what's left of the pump buildings above the road?

The building looks like the old Quaker Chemical (don't know what it's called now) in Detroit but the trees are throwing me off.

Yes it is Quaker Chemicals on the Highland Park branch. Which is the last/farthest customer on the line. Serviced by Conrail's LV-4 as needed. Things have slowed down on this stretch of railroad the last year .

[Michael]

Good job AARR.
How about this one?
