Patterson Road underpass. Above is CSX's Plymouth Sub, with the closest track being the main and then the siding. Raildudesdad played a key role in building that bridge, and has lots of stories :D

Built in 1987 BTW

I knew more than one person would recognize that bridge.

How about these bridges?

Downriver area. Monroe.

When you're from the Thumb, anything south of downtown Detroit is downriver. :wink:

I think I know what line it is on then. I'll let someone who's actually been there chime in though (plus I'm not 100% sure).

Looks like LSRC (ex-CSX) south of Bay City.

Happen to be a stretch of trackage in Kalamazoo heading towards Botsford? I'd look at a map to verify but you told me no.

Unlikely anyone will know this one as remote as it is. Davis Creek near Kalamazoo
