Given the Lifetime TV tag, I'm guessing the image is related to the Kingsford Bridge murders.Pixl wrote:This one is in Michigan, sort of.
But that is not the Kingsford Bridge.
It doesn't appear to match any of the bridges over the Menominee River.
So I wait to see what I missed.

Re: Where Is It?
Dave, you are so close with your observations. I had to take a tv shot of this fairly unknown bridge as I couldn't find it anywhere even on bridge finder. The railroads stopped using it some time ago but it is still usable and intact for now. A nice mystery I stumbled across, fun for all of us.

Re: Where Is It?
It's a good one Pixl.
Did anyone mention the abandoned Chicago and Northwestern grade north of Iron Mountain?
There is a bridge and snowmobile trail although it doesn't really look like your bridge

Re: Where Is It?
Well you too are close, look a bit further South. I'll give it up after a few more guesses. If wassn't for the tv show I woulnd't have known.

Re: Where Is It?
Can't be the Niagara Bridge because it's a through truss. The bridge in the TV program is(or was) a double track deck truss.Pixl wrote:Well you too are close, look a bit further South. I'll give it up after a few more guesses. If wassn't for the tv show I woulnd't have known.
The TV program is "I Survived", the episode is "Dorothy; Jim; Bud and Katrina". Season 5 Episode 23 but also known with other seasons/episodes(confusing!) to identify the show.
I watched it on youtube.
The location videos are basically what is known as stock footage. The only real thing were the people that were interviewed in a studio somewhere.
So I'm really curious to see what bridge Pixl thinks this was.

You are right about the murders there, but maybe a different story as I saw it. This bridge seems to have escaped most publicly but is actually there. It can be seen with Google Earth, but no street view. Kinda why I thought this might be a good challenge.

Re: Where Is It?
My brother wants to know where his friend was. I thought it was Shultz St. on the MQT. But the whistle post and lack of overhead shurbbery make me question my assumption

Re: Where Is It?
You are right on the tv show and episode, good work. If you watch it again near the begining, they briefly, and I mean very brifly tag the location as Niagara Wi. Could be wrong as tv people do often, but take a look at Niagara Wi on Google Earth. There is a railroad bridge across the river there.DaveO wrote: Can't be the Niagara Bridge because it's a through truss. The bridge in the TV program is(or was) a double track deck truss.

Re: Where Is It?
There are 2 bridges around Niagara. There is one in town that served the paper mill. It's a through truss. The other is known as the Kingsford Bridge. That is pictured below. You can see this bridge is pretty unique in construction. The murders actually occurred on the other (Wisconsin) side where the mailing address is Niagara.Pixl wrote:You are right on the tv show and episode, good work.

Re: Where Is It?
Indeed,it's the old LSMS RR looking south from the Watson Street SW crossing just a block south of the Grand Valley State University Pew Campus in Grand Rapids, Kent County. Old LSMS ran between Elkhart, IN and Grand Rapids. Passenger train service was discontinued many, many years ago.R3DZ0N3 wrote:Old LSMS by GVSU in Grand Rapids~Z~ wrote:Where be it?

M-66 over the abandoned ROW of the old New York Central RR Air line branch, west of Colon, just north of the jog with M-86, looking west toward Three Rivers. In Nottawa Township on the west and Colon Township on the east side of M-66, both in St. Joseph County. Passenger train service on the old New York Central RR Air line branch line between Jackson and three Rivers, was discontinued many, many years. That trackage itself was abandoned 36 years ago.
