Ugh, when I first saw it earlier I misread the post, thinking it was another shot from Hamburg...but it kinda looks like Durand.

Re: Where Is It?
There's no elevator in Carsonville anymore, Rodney. It's a thrift store or something now. Most of the tall stuff came down a decade or so ago (hard to believe it's really been that long).railrod1949 wrote:Michael wrote:It is not Munger
Brown City on M-90; Croswell or Carsonville. Or is at the end of the track on HESR.

Re: Where Is It?
I think Michael said this picture is from 2008 so the building in the background may have still been an elevator back then

It's not Carsonville. This is what was left of the elevator in 2014. It's nothing like the elevator in the picture.

Re: Where Is It?
All the guesses are wrong so far. The elevator is still there just not an active customer anymore ( I could be wrong)
Does this view help?

What is the town between Palms and Ruth? Minden City? That's my guess.

Re: Where Is It?
Rodney's got it. The last time I was up there, that elevator was a lot more overgrown than it was in Michael's Google photos. I think it was also shut down, whereas it was open back in 2008ish.railrod1949 wrote:Yes, it is Michael, found it finally!

This is somewhere in one of Michigan's largest cities and the track photographed here is used by Amtrak, among other trains.

W. 12th Street and Hammerberg Road, looking south between I-75 and I-475, just south of the I-69 interchange with Hammerberg Road.

Here's a tricky one for you. Many years ago there were tracks where the path going off into the horizon is.

Re: Where Is It?
Found it. Hint: Those are the bollards on the Fred Meijer Heartland Trail. This is on one of the newer sections of the trail.

Well, here's an actually tricky one. Only one hint for now: northern Michigan.
