Yes, indeed, it's the Detroit Zoo at Woodward Avenue and 10 Mile Road, Royal Oak, Oakland County. looking east. The Detroit Zoo RR trains staging area (actually located in Huntington Woods) is on east side of the concreate wall pictured above. 10 Mile Road and I-696 are both to the right (not visible). The Detroit Zoo RR will begin its 87th season in a week from this Monday. I rode on the Zoo train a few times in the past.

Final run of the remaining passenger train between Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN and Sault Ste Marie, MI with stop in Engadine, was made on March 5, 1960.

A nearly new SD50, so that will date the picture.

Not the West side of Battle Creek but west of Battle Creek. While the SD50 survived into the NS SD40E rebuild program and the track remains in service, the buildings in the pictures have been demolished.

Somewhere between Galesburg and Augusta with M-96 at the right in PatAzo's shot above.

Penn Central RR's Mosel Yard. Kalamazoo, actually in Kalamazoo Township, Kalamazoo County looking south across W. Mosel Avenue.

Yes, Mosel Yard. That is the old yard office on the left. Across Mosel on the right it the old Eaton plant. A slightly more current view was in Where Is It back in April after both buildings were demolished.
