Looking at the aircraft in your photo at first I thought DC-9, but the engines don't look long enough so maybe a Boeing 717, anyone know?

One of the hints is it sees a few trains per week. Lincoln Secondary gets six intermodals/manifest plus a local.

This section of HESR gets a train in each direction five days a week. They also get a couple coal trains per week for about 6 months a year.

Michael you're pissing me off. I've been playing with both of these on and off all day.
The bridge over troubled waters looks like a old interurban bridge possibly over a canal due to the straight river and it's light build. But I've looked all over the place for interburbans near the water no joy. The grain silo has me baffled after looking at all the HESR and other lines.
You got me this time.

Linwood. It's on the abandoned D&M right of way that runs right along the lake. Linwood Beach Marina and Campgrounds are between the bridge and the lake.

That is the spot. http://michiganrailroads.com/RRHX/Stati ... ParkMI.htm
The Detroit & Mackinac depot at Linwood Park, which was on the shore of Lake Huron east of the hamlet of Linwood. The D&M frequently ran excursion trains to Linwood Park from Bay City and Saginaw in the early 1900's. The canal is appropriately named "Railroad Drain"
