That one actually might be fairly hard. I can only think of 2 or 3 people on this board who may have ever even been anywhere represented on that map other then myself in real life. I'll wait to answer for now.

Pretty sure the map is facing basically north, and it's the Cook Power plant between St Joe and New Buffalo. Haven't been there either, but aerial photos show that's probably it... the multiple gates gave it away for me.

Yep, you've got it. I cut it pretty small because I figured I-94 and the siding at Livingston would give it away.

Yes, it's Sappi Paper, before the tear down of course. To my knowledge all that track is untouched, but the buildings are not...

That would be the Martin Marietta Magnesia Specialties plant. I agree.

Yep, Trenton DTE coal loop track.

Here's another one, not sure how easy it'll be.

Hint: it's in the same area as the last one
