Hey, found it! That's Iron Mountain in the da UP. Northwest side of that town. The shot above is looking east on West Railroad Avenue through the dual tunnels under the Escanaba & Lake Superior RR (formerly the Milwaukee Road and the old route of the Copper Country Limited) ,just east of N. Milwaukee Avenue. All in the Iron Mountain Public Schools District, Iron Mountain, Dickinson County. Iron Mountain is also located on US-2, US-141 and M-95. That area have a Iron Mountain, MI 49801 mailing address. Until the Milwaukee Road's Copper Country Limited made its final run March 8, 1968, that passenger train between Chicago and Calumet, MI interlined with the old Soo Line at Champion, MI with stops at Iron Mountain at 3:30am every morning northbound and 10:00pm southbound every nights.

Its on the north side of the CSX Plymouth Sub. just west of Ensel Yard. My late parents born, raised and educated in Lansing. That stone supplier have a Lansing, MI 48906 address.
