Correct.

It's one of two spurs into MPI (which is the old Firestone plant).

It is at least 50 miles away from the location you mentioned (Marathon Refinery in Detroit/Melvindale).
Is it on NS's Wabash Line? It is not the Wabash line but it is very close
Is it on CSX's Saginaw Sub? Nope, it's on a short line.
Is it on the ADBF?
Yep. It is right in Adrian. A place called Anderson Development Corp.
Here are some of the employees giving the Google Street View car the thumbs up :lol:

Guessing somewhere on the CN holly sub where they recently removed some doubletrack? Where exactly, no idea, photo very much lacks an ability to pinpoint.

I'll kill it quick for you, mp 29.8ish, just before the entrance to ypsi yard on the MC in Ypsilanti. I chose it because it was going to be a hard one.. although it would have been a little more obvious if I had been about 30 yards down the way near the switch. If I make it too obvious or leave a link Zack figures it out too quick :twisted:

Ok, here is one with a lot of interesting ID features. You should recognize it if you have been thru here.

One hint: it's not in Michigan, but not too far.
