I was thinking maybe the old ROW off Prospect. The fence looks similar. Street view is from 2011. Maybe the RR signs are newer

Bingo ! The former D.D.& D. branch. Was made obsolete by the new double track Junction yard branch. Also ran where Greenfield Village is so, railrod1949 is right also, sort of :-).
For M. D. Bentley, where exactly your above shot, was located? What streets?

It's the corner of Robert and Robert. OR where Robert curves between Elizabeth and Harman streets. GE shows a empty lot, now fenced and full of sunflowers and corn and stuff :-). This is pretty much the end of the visible ROW that is left, the rest has been redeveloped N/W of here.

It’s on campus, but it isn’t Farm Lane or Bogue.

Hint: We’ve been here before.

Harrison is too far west still.

Not sure what “unnamed road” is but I’ll tell you that Farm and Bogue were closer to correct than Harrison.
