Yes, indeed, it's Lawton, MI, looking northwest along the old Pere Marquette RR line ROW that ran up to Paw Paw, Lawrence and Hartford. That section between Lawton and Paw Paw was ripped up in 1907. White Oak Road can be seen in the foreground. It west of M-40. White Oaks Assisted Living facility can be seen in the background at right. Passenger train on the former Pere Marquette RR line between Hartford and lawton, was discontinued many, many years ago. All in Lawton, Van Buren County.DaveO wrote:A google search for~Z~ wrote:I figured you might get it right as you were scouting pretty close by on the Miller onePatAzo wrote:Lawton MI.

Old spur line to the Rifkin Scrap Iron and Metal Co. yard, crossing W. Genesee Avenue, looking south to the scrap yard off the connection with the Huron and Eastern RR in Saginaw, Saginaw County. The building across the street is the Mid Michigan Children Museum.~Z~ wrote:2015 - the crossing was still there as shown. In 2017, crossing shows paved over.

Re: Where Is It?
None of those. It's a shortline.
I posted this same spot but from the other side of the road a while back and Pixl guessed it right away.

Re: Where Is It?
Yes, indeed, it's Williams Street, looking east across the former GR&I, former Pennsy, former Penn Central, now Michigan Southern. in Sturgis, St. Joseph County. it between Grove Street and S. Jefferson Street. Just a block south of W.Chicago Road (US-12). Final run of the remaining passenger train on the former Pennsylvania RR line between Fort Wayne, IN and Mackinaw City was made on Friday, September 1, 1961 (Fridays only northbound) and Tuesday, September 5, 1961 (Sundays only southbound).Michael wrote:You got it DaveO
