Re: Where Is It?
Indeed, the Well Fargo Advisors, is located at 3566 Capital Avenue, SW at the foot of Glenn Cross Road, Battle Creek, Calhoun County. It looking southwest , Just about a mile south of I-94. Brickyard Creek Trail is on the east side of Capital Avenue, SW. That rail trail was the former NYC/MC line that ran between Battle Creek and Fairfax, MI (where connection was made with another former MC/NYC Air Line) about 15 miles northeast of Sturgis. Passenger train service on that fomre NYC/MC between Battle Creek and Fairfax, was discontinued many, many years ago. The Amtrak train about to approach the McCollum Road crossing. The white building behind the train is the Michigan Growers Products.DaveO wrote:Wells Fargo Advisors Capital SW and Glenn Cross

Re: Where Is It?
My wife Tammy posing for my railroad photo. Michael your secret weapon finding internet photos won't work on this one!
Using Tammy's cell to take the photo I discovered the metadata is turned on, and she doesn't care. I had to strip that stuff off too before posting not like this one is that hard to find.

Looks like one of those restaurants along the TART trail and GLC tracks in Traverse City.

How long do you have to be drinking before you see a train go by

Re: Where Is It?
Dave you are correct on the location. I know Frank and he is happy to take my money as I sit on his deck. If you keep drinking while waiting for a train you might be eligible to join AA before the next two car train slides by. A little quite up here but we like it that way. I just sat in the pool today at home, 80 deg. while others were freezing at the lakes that haven't warmed up yet. Ahh Northern Michigan living.DaveO wrote:Frank's Bay View Inn in Acme.Pixl wrote:Well this is railfaning at it's finest, just sit by and wait for some action while sipping on a cocktail.

Yes, indeed, it's on the HESR between Munger and Reese with N. Block Road in the foreground, looking southeast toward Hack Road and Reese, in Blumfield Township, Saginaw County. Passenger train service on the ex MC RR line between Bay City and Vassar via Munger and Reese was discontinued November 30, 1930.

Not too vague atrainguy, correct. Rodney correct too. Saw it while browsing Reese online after a recent video I saw of HESR action there.railrod1949 wrote:atrainguy60 wrote:Maybe this is too vague of an answer, but between Reese and Munger along the HESR line currently used for storing coal hoppers?~Z~ wrote:Where be it?
