That's the Conrail Utica Industrial Track between M-59 and 22 Mile Rd, where the bike path runs north from near the Utica minor league ballpark into River Bends Park in Shelby Twp.

Yessireee!! Indeed, it's the Conrail SA Utica Industrial Track that's run between 22 Mile Road and M-59 in Shelby Township, Macomb County. Looking south towards the Jimmy John's Feld (Utica minor league ball park) and M-59. Bike path run underneath the old NYC RR trackage between the ball park and River Bends Park. Final run of the remaining passenger train which were train nos. 394/295 the Beeliner on the old NYC RR Mackinaw Branch between Detroit and Bay City, were made on March 19, 1964 55 years ago this march past March 19. AARR should know this easy one!!

It's on a line that a lot of people were paying paying attention to this past week, trying to get their last and first photos.

Correct! A view of a part of Lincoln Yard from the back of Total Sports Complex in Wixom. I wonder where the LSRC caboose is in relation to this photo, assuming it's down there somewhere.

I'll take a stab at Monroe. Browsed around bay city/saginaw and the thumb hoping it was over there, but can't find. Nice where be it Michael. Seems like it should be easy but I dunno.

Found it!! St. Clair, MI about 20 miles south of Port Huron in St. Clair County. On the spur looking north to the Cargill Salt Plant in St. Clair. Also looking north along the St. Clair Hwy. with the Pine River on the left and Hillside Cemetery on the right. The spur is off the connection with the former PH&D RR line, now CSX.
