Didn't take long to find where CMS was with a google search.
You could have looked at the trailer parked at the dock like I did.
Well, when I saw both the stack and the trailer with CMS, it was only a matter of time before finding out exactly what (and where) CMS was located.

GRHC - you know every night I can imagine he is in front of his computer screen sitting in his underwear swearing profusely and drinking Blatz beer combing the RailRoadFan website for grammatical errors.
Where be it? Not accessible via Google Maps street view, but certainly accessible via admin bicycle.
I feel like I should know where this is, but it's turning out to be a tough one.

It is somewhere within 40 miles of Grand Rapids that I've ridden via bike a few times.
Ok, that helps.

Um, what? I see there's a Advanced MicroNutirent place near Reese. There's an Arthur Township way up near Clare too but no rail service.
Back when there was a railroad station there west of Reese (where ADM and MicroNutrient are) they called that spot Arthur. It’s still referred to as Arthur.

Ah, gotcha AARR. Wasn't aware that area was called Arthur.
Not Muskegon area... definitely within 40 miles of GR, in fact, a lot closer than 40. "Within" is definitely the key word.

Good find! I never would have found that. Even in the satellite view the tracks aren't visible.

Where be it? Not in Michigan. Thought the track layout was pretty interesting.

The tracks share the bridges with a roadway so industrial trackage. Greenery looks a little scrubby so I say northward. Water is dirty like a river but a lake like shore line. So I am guessing a mine site in Ontario.
Turner St. crossing in Lansing, looking to the SE at JAIL's Old Town branch
The Old Town branch was part of the old LS&MS RR that ran between North Lansing and Hillsdale. Final run of the remaining passenger train 33/34 between North Lansing and Hillsdale. Actually, it was a mixed train. Turner Street crossing in Lansing, Ingram County.
