Re: Where Is It?
Not on CN. The spur would have became inactive not very long ago based on appearance, or someone prefers to keep up on maintenance.
Re: Where Is It?
Is it on CSX Detroit Line??

Scotten Avenue at the Renaissance Global Logistics spur. Looking at the Nicholson Terminal & Dock Company.ConrailDetroit wrote: ↑Mon Aug 03, 2020 11:45 amNot on Conrail and yes within Detroit City Limits.
Last street view has buildings which are now gone.
Plus some private person/company has street view images that are not at the correct map location to make things more fun.
Re: Where Is It?
Active CSX mainline is less than 1000ft directly behind the far side of the trailer in the original photo.
The trailer is the first one on the right as you pull into the parking lot.
None of the westsiders can get this?

Re: Where Is It?
Did we end up confirming Mark's roadrailer was in Grand Rapids?
If it is indeed there... here's the next one... where be it?

Re: Where Is It?
Junction Valley RR, Bridgeport, MI. looking south from old M-38. I was there with my best railfan friend in July, 1998. Junction Valley RR closed permanently on Labor Day, 2016 and its hobby shop closed permanently October 31, 2017 after 35 years.
