Re: Where Is It?
Finally located it. The caboose is located at a residence's back yard on the west side of Clark Road, north of Wear Road, in the Huron School District, Sumpter Township, Wayne County. Southwest of the unincorporated town of New Boston and southwest of the DTW Airport. That residence have a mailing address of Belleville.M.D.Bentley wrote:Try here. 42.127899, -83.424024Pixl wrote:agreed. I've looked all over those same areas.
