It is in west michigan somewhere, correct.railrod1949 wrote:~Z~ wrote:Where be it?
Trail on far right side of photo is along an old ROW, then the trail veers off to the west while the original ROW continues to parallel the road in the foreground.

There ya go Rodney, you got it. Good job browsing around to find it. Was indeed a spur that went to the nuke plant. Supposedly they are decommissioning that plant in a few years.railrod1949 wrote:~Z~ wrote:Noppers, think SouthWest michigan.railrod1949 wrote:M-119 northwest of Petoskey.
Van Buren Trail State Park, with Blue Star highway (old US-31, now A-2) in the foreground, looking southwest towards Benton Harbor and St. Joseph. Old C&O Railway spur ROW on the right that went to the Paliside Power Plant, all south of South Haven. In Covert Township, Van Buren County.
The r.o.w. was west of M-139, though original US 31 crossed the Somerleyton Bridge, which was an old truss bridge over the St. Joseph River near Scottdale. It crossed Pipestone Rd. just west of M-139, and there used to be a wooden trestle over the Big 4 line, and another over Empire Ave in the valley between Pipestone and M-139.DaveO wrote:It was a Pere Marquette line. It seems that road is built on the r-o-w there.Pixl wrote:Well I did much research on this location, but could not confirm all facts. But that said, I believe the state highway in front of this restaurant under the pavement used to be a branch line of a major RR in the area.
I should have gotten that one as well.~Z~ wrote:Where be it?

Noppers. Rodney, in southeast michigan is where this photo is. There was a "where is it" 4 years ago that AARR guessed right on that's very close nearby.Pixl wrote:Burley Park near Howard City.~Z~ wrote:Where be it? This narrow gauge is very closely parallels with an old ROW.
