Sturgis is at least correct. Dunno if that's what this building used to be, but now Midwest Tool and Cutlery, good work AARR. A whole 3 minutes after posting...didn't think it would be guessed so fast.

Where be it? Former ROW of course.

That is correct so far, south side of Grand Rapids. I will say, the street name next to this picture location is appropriated named :)

I was not 100% sure so I am a little surprised I was right. MSO used to store their engine on that spur before they built the engine shed in White Pigeon.

Amtrak line crossing over Robinson Ave. just west of downtown Mattawan. Really cool old bridge. I had a failed attempt at shooting Amtrak there with my drone a couple of years ago. Shutter lag screwed me.

Indeed, correct! Amtrak Line crossing over Robinson Avenue in Antwerp Township, Kalamazoo County. Four Amtrak trains currently operating with three trains in each direction between Pontiac and Chiago and one more between Port Huron and Chicago all thru Mattawan.
