Where Is It?
Re: Where Is It?
Is this on a Conrail Branch off CSX's Detroit Line? I don't know it's official name but it looks like the company that receives box car and steel coil cars.

Re: Where Is It?
Thanks DaveO. Does it still get rail service? Normally there are coil steel and box cars all over the place. It looks pretty barren in this picture.

Back in 1975, Conrail called it the Oakman Spur.

Yes, Comau-Dearborn on west side of Wyoming Avenue, south of W. Warren Ave., looking north in Dearborn, Wayne County. It's at the north end of the Oakman Spur off the connection with the CSX Detroit Line.DaveO wrote: ↑Tue Jul 21, 2020 10:48 amNow Comau Dearborn on Wyoming Road.

Re: Where Is It?
It's listed as being Comau Pico. They do industrial automation. Not likely to get rail service for their needs.AARR wrote: ↑Tue Jul 21, 2020 11:09 amThanks DaveO. Does it still get rail service? Normally there are coil steel and box cars all over the place. It looks pretty barren in this picture.

Re: Where Is It?
Well, back in the day ( YES, I can say that ) This was part of a service that Conrail offered called SteelNET. A steel shipping and warehousing service. And later Dearborn steel. Use to love catching that job and taking a break to watching whatever movie was playing on the screen that you could see from the track & listening on a portable am radio.

Where be it? It's not in Michigan, but Indiana, so I left the road name on there.

Re: Where Is It?
Not Shipshawanna, but it is in the northern 1/3 of Indiana. Maybe that'll reduce it to 100/3 to 200/3 (33 to 66) of the railroad streets to check. School to the right, and left side of Railroad St is where the ROW once was.
