No, I haven't been there before, but that giant yellow water tower helped a ton :) Looks like the tracks end right around the corner and go to a paved trail.
Agreed! That's Main Street, Millington, looking southeast along the former MC, former, NYC, former, PC, former TSBY, now GLC line which now ends three blocks and a half south of Main Street. M-15 (not visible) is at the far right.

Correct Z. I spotted it from the air while looking for some other location. Flew back to get another look and post it.

LSRC RR bridge over the unknown River in Richfield Township midway between Roscommon and St. Helen. Shot above is looking northeast from the Old M-76 bridge.

Lake St. Helen nearby is the headwater of the S. Branch Ausable River that passes under your bridge. Nice find.

Indeed, it's Buttrick Ave, SE, looking north underneath the CSX Plymouth Sub in Whitneyville, southeast of Grand Rapids, in Kent County.

Well to continue our low, scary, and narrow theme... I'll give you a hint it is not in Michigan and is not far from a very popular hot spot.

Soo I think, don't know for sure. Take a good look at the water tank in the distance. That is the key feature that will take you to this spot.
