That was quick! Good job
I thought maybe Ann Arbor too, but I can't find a spot that looks to match your location. Can you put up an aerial shot where it is?
On Jochs spot, I did take a close look at the tag. You can't read it, but I thought it looked like NS style, and I spent a lot of time looking at NS lines. Back to the search later today.

Right now I have blisters from my mouse looking for Jochs Indiana crossing.
I would never do that!
It looks like a CSX placard on Joch's photo. Did you notice that too?
If it helps, that day, I was in Muncie for the train show at the fairgrounds, then headed east to Cincinnati.
Looking one way at the crossing would give it away, becoause you could just google the business in the photo.
Here is a photo looking in a northerly direction:

Oh yea that helped. Found it in Richmond Indiana on S. "O" Street. Indiana rail map shows the line as INDIANA EASTERN RAILROAD (IERR)
You guys have to practically be told where I am....lolz!

Great campground with a nice beach, protected waters of Tawas Bay, right in downtown Tawas City!
LSRC line in the foreground on it's way to Alpena. Nice location Michael.

The slips are empty because everyone is out boating!
Also remember, boat fuel is more expensive than unleaded you put in your car, and prices were relatively high last summer. I'm sure the higher fuel prices could have something to do with the lack of boats in the slips.
Here is a relatively easy one. Where is this little town with the brick road? (Look closely at the signs..you'll be able to figure out the rail line by the signs. Also note the white track-side fences.)

Look closely at the signs on your low resolution photo? When I zoom in to try to read them, all I see is a pixelated mess. How about a larger pic so we can zoom in to read the signs?

Correct, I double checked and is indeed Galien, Cleveland Ave even.

That's because you know the sign says "High Speed Trains." And yes, I was wearing my glasses.

If you are familiar with the Amtrak Line, you'd recognize the white fences and the square yellow signs, and know that they say "High Speed Trains."
I was hoping someone would say "Three Oaks" so I could say "Nope, but you are on the right track!"
As for the roundhouse in Indiana, I don't have a clue!
