Junction Valley is indeed correct.

Correct
Re: Where Is It?
The bridge is gone, the track at grade level remains in place in daily use though the double track was eliminated in the 80's.
Re: Where Is It?
Between Grand Rapids and Comstock Park?

Galesburg.
I'm assuming the flyover didn't use earth embankments due to the tight right-of-way.

Re: Where Is It?
DaveO, how do you know all these locations?

Re: Where Is It?
Yup, indeed its Galesburg, MI looking east along E Battle Creek Street, just east of Burgess Street in Galesburg, Kalamazoo County. Amtrak trains 351 and 352 between Pontiac and Chicago and trains 364 and 365 between Port Huron and Chicago all pass through Galesburg.
Re: Where Is It?
The Michigan United Electric passed through Galesburg on city streets then crossed over the Michigan Central just east of town. The approaches were wood trestles.

Re: Where Is It?
I don't.
But in this case, streetcars and interurbans are something that I've long had an interest in.
To remember which flyover was where however required me to resort to google.
As part of my retirement trip, I visited the tram capitol of the world.
So who knows where that is?

Re: Where Is It?
As you, i resorted to google.. Melbourne Australia
At first I was thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shore_Line_Trolley_Museum in Connecticut where our GP30M4216 worked, but google told me the right answer.
