I know.. I'll give it a few, but just past that bridge opening, on the left is some "no parking" signs and a chain that were recently put up.

Yup, 133rd Ave bridge under the GR Sub. Was a derailment here years ago, probably about the time or the time when they put this overpass in. There's a really high embankment there, which every few years they have to throw some more rock on.

Yes, confirmed, that's 133rd Avenue, looking east under the CSX Grand Rapids Sub bridge, east of Saugatuck, in the Hamilton Community Schools District, Manlius Township, Allegan County. Its north of New Richmond and south of Holland. that area have a Hamilton, MI 49419 address.

It kind of looks like the GDLK southwest of White Pigeon, between WP and the Indiana state line.
