Yes, it's the E. Mosel Avenue crossing the Grand Elk main line, looking south but the local freight is heading either northbound or southbound in Kamazoo Township, Kalamazoo County. Old Mosel Yard office concrete pad in the foreground with the former Pennsylvania RR Mosel yard behind the photographer's current position, Final run of the remaining passenger train on the old Pennsy summer months only between Fort Wayne, IN and Mackinaw City, was made on Friday, September 1, 1961 northbound Fridays only Fort Wayne to Mackinaw City and was made on Monday, September 4, 1961 southdbound Sundays only Mackinaw City to Fort Wayne. Those trains was called the Northern Arrow.PatAzo wrote:That is correct.

E. Dayton Road over the Cass River looking southwest along the river toward Metz Road (M-24), just southeast of Caro. The bridge abutments on both sides of the river were parts of the bridge that carried the old DBC&W RR that ran between Sandusky and Bay City. In Indiansfield Township, Tuscola County.

But this sometime ago was the clear winner, by far.
