Is it in SE GR?

Not in the SE quadrant of GR, no. The street view from June 2011 had far more brush and trees, making it harder to see the rail laying here.

It's the old siding off the CSX , GDLK or the Marquette Rail?

It is a spur off of one of those railroads, since those are the three main railroads in town Word has it this spur used to connect what is now two of the railroads you mentioned above.

Just off of HugHart. Road begins with a T, like Tower St. or something. Tracks once went towards Seymour in the other direction and connected with the C&O.

Got it! Just west of Steele Avenue SW looking west toward the GDLK RR Hughart Yard. It was the old connecting track that ran between Hughart Yard and the CSX Main line at Seymour. All in Grand Rapids. The building on the right is the Arkema Coating Resins. In the Grand Rapids Public Schools district, Kent County. Its have a Grand Rapids, MI 49507 address. Judging by a bungalow with its door wide opened on the right, there was standard crossing signals or the cantilever (overhead) crossing signals at that Steele Avenue, SW crossing.

Where is it? This is not in Michigan, but in a state that borders MI.

Thanks. Something made me think Wisconsin and reminded me of the area around Wisconsin Dells. I was on Google Earth for about 10 minutes and there it was. A lot more fun when there is a find able landmark in the picture.

Don't be too impressed, it's not in Lacrosse, WI.

It is in Wisconsin, though.

This area is not near the Mississippi River. It is an area that was once a large lake, and the bluffs were originally islands in that glacial lake.

This is in the general region of the original photo, which is taken along the CP line.

Here is a train near the bluff in the original photo. The bluffs are not along the Mississippi River, but rising out of a relatively flat plain. It is meeting a westbound train in a passing siding. I had seen that westbound earlier that day in Duplainville.

Looks a little like the area being rebuilt where the old Chrysler plant was in Hamtramck. New industries coming in but none that get rail service
