Not HB. Fairview doesn't have any active rail that I can see...?

Ehh...sorry for not responding...no. Not FG or Sebwaing. Close though. I seem to recall a diamond not too far from here at one time.

Re: Where am I?
Not much street view to verify in this part of the state, but from the aerial views my guess is Akron, Mi.

Re: Where am I?
Hints:
- -Southeast corner of the state
-If this picture was taken many decades ago, you would've been looking at a railroad crossing, the tracks belonging to what is now CN
If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

An easy one while everyone work on Burbs photo. Bonus points if you can tell who the railfans in the photo are.

Re: Where am I?
Romulus looking east... almost looks like Ben and Redside20... no idea why those two would be near each other though.
Maybe it's Ypsi and Conrailman, his brother?
Burb's photo has so little to go on... trees...

Yarg. We don't hang out on the ballast at romulus.. Some do we don't prefer as the police presence is decently high in romulus since the police station is just across the tracks downtown basically.

Re: Where am I?
So this is in Akron. Nice guess, Pixl.
I've been to Akron twice and recall the Cooperative Elevator's metal bins but don't recall this one. Can you tell me something about it? It looks like they load bagged beans. Who operates it? What kind of traffic do they ship? Any idea how many cars they ship?

Re: Where am I?
It is indeed Romulus Zack but I have no idea who those guys are either. It is just a Google Street view but the one guy definitely has a camera and they drive an A-Team like van~Z~ wrote:Romulus looking east... almost looks like Ben and Redside20... no idea why those two would be near each other though.

No, but it did belong to a railroad that was later acquired by GTW.GreatLakesRailfan wrote:Was it a Grand Trunk line at the time the tracks were removed?Burb8145 wrote:Hints:

It was a former DT&I branch.
