Well I might have found Michael's red building. Here is one Google drove by in Roscommon in 2008.

That's the old AARR station in downtown Ann Arbor, which is now a preschool. I'll have to remember to make that the background (minus the caboose) next time I find a train on the AARR.

Well at least it is in the US, as there is an American flag out front on the pole.

ok, not so far away, found it on Ashley St. in Ann Arbor. Former AA station, it is now a school of some sort.
The apartment building across the street with all the chimneys is very interesting too, but It looks fairly new with a historic design.

It's nice to see that the old train station got a second use.

How about this one?

Hint: google street car turned around before going over the tracks so it'll show as a road that didn't get photoed beyond the railroad tracks. Peaceful looking area, only one nice southbound train per day to photograph :(

If Montieth is between Plainwell and Martin, then yes correct, 9th St it is on the Grand Elk.

Edit: if it's too small to see in the post, it's bigger in the gallery.

That scene looks quite different in the google pic from the shot I got there (of course, there's quite a bit of compression in my shot from using the long lens).
