Strange. AARR already responded to this location identification above. And then he still wants to know where it is?~Z~ wrote:No hints; Pixl guessed Holly Michigan and was correct.AARR wrote:Hints?

Kentwood is incorrect. My first hint is that it was taken North of 1-96 and East of 131.

Somewhere on the CSX. or the H&E. I know it is not in the Upper Peninisula. Must be somewhere close to east of US-131 and north of I-96. If not, more hints please.

Re: Where Is It?
Well I don't know about the RR location, but it looks like someone pulled off the front clip of the car, maybe the engine too. Seems strange the grass isn't burnt and the front tire is intact. Must have been torched some where else then dumped there. What would be across the street? A scrap yard??

Re: Where Is It?
So its not GLC or LSRC. It's somewhere close to north of I96 and east of US131. It's not Kentwood or Owosso.

Yes, indeed, the west end of Conrail SA Livernois Yard, in Detroit, Detroit City School District, Wayne County. Amtrak trains 351, 353, 355 westbound and trains 350, 352 and 354 eastbound currently operating between Pontiac and Chicago along John Kronk Avenue.
