Re: Guess Where.
Could be ANYWHERE along the CN line where it's double tracked.

Don't forget the high voltage lines and crossover..that'll help someone, but the rest of the scenery doesn't help at all.J T wrote:Could be ANYWHERE along the CN line where it's double tracked.

Re: Guess Where.
Somewhere on the Flint sub? The third engine looks like a VIA Rail engine but can't tell for sure. If so maybe heading west out of Port Huron?

Re: Guess Where.
Agree with AARR & Gov. Crappo (kind of), just west of the new Corey Yard, west of Dimondale/Millett, looking northeast, just east of Nixon Rd. headed downhill, I-69 overpass is in the background.Gov. Crappo wrote:im with AARR...Lansing

Re: Guess Where.
That's not at Nixon road. I see a crossover and a signal in this picture and the nearest interlocking to Nixon is Maple, several miles to the southeast.
That said, the location kind of looks like Mill (between Cory and Millet yard) but I have my doubts about that too. Mill is kind of far from any crossings a little difficult to access. The signal that I can see doesn't look right for the location, either.
I would guess somewhere around Port Huron/Tappan.

I said it looked a VIA rail..didn't say it was for sure... ..the overpass in the background could be I-94 just outside of Port Huron..Conrail Jon wrote:VIA Rail???? That's a Montana Rail Link SD45.......

I was using the power lines as a clue, but west of Lansing they are on the wrong side for that picture.
