There used to be a bridge across this road just past the intersection. I assume that is the remains of the bridge on the left from 1926.
2 railroads served this town. I think the bridge lasted until the early 70's?

Yes, confirmed. It's S. Church Street, just south of and beyond Division Street, where the old Cincinnati Northern RR later NYC) bridge over S. Church Street, was located. Thompson Memorial Park can be seem on the left. The shot above is looking south toward the Ohio border. Its south of M-34 and east of US-127. All in Hudson, Hudson Area Schools District, Lenawee County. The old LS&MS RR line ran through the north side of town. That area in that shot above have a Hudson, MI 49247 mailing address.
