It is not between Grand rapids and kalamazoo. It is reachable within a day's bike ride from grand Rapids though, which is the transportation method I used.

That's Muskegon looking east along the old Pennsylvania RR ROW towards Grand Rapids. With US-31 passing under the bridge. Final run of the remaining old Pennsylvania RR passenger train consisted of a doodlebug between Grand Rapids and Muskegon with crossing on the bridge over US-31 in Muskegon, Muskegon County, was made on July 30, 1950.GreatLakesRailfan wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 9:46 pmIs that Muskegon, with US 31 passing under the bridge?

I forget the name of that industry but it's a crossing of Huron River drive in Romulus. Industrial Spur not far from the mains that run parallel to I-94.
Anyone that was reading my posts in the chat should have gotten that

Re: Where Is It?
Yes, indeed, its the Evans Distribution Systems on the west side of Huron River Drive, just north of Wabash Street, Romulus, Wayne County. That industrial spur is off the connection with both the CSX main at the east end and the NS main at the west end, The shot above is looking west with Huron River Drive in the foreground.

Re: Where Is It?
Correct. Southeast Detroit.
Re: Where Is It?
That was my third guess. Second guess was an area just outside of downtown near Atwater Brewery.
