The connection between the Michigan Line and the Greenfield Village trackage?

[ConrailDetr​oit]

Correct

[PatAzo]

The ex-Reading piggy back trailer is the subject. It's with in sight and sound tracks once belonging to rival competitors.

In Detroitland, near one of it's competitors such as Pennsylvania, B&O, or a Short Line railroad?

[PatAzo]

Not Detroit land. Go west. Rivals would be the PRR and NYC. The concrete stack and white building just poking up to the left are prominent features in this part of the city.

Jackson?

Mainly said Pennsylvania, B&O, or a Short Line railroad because they are the other railroads along with the Reading in Monopoly
How about Kalamazoo or Grand Rapids land as both the NYC and PRR seemed to have gone through those?

PRR & B&O was a good guess. They had a fierce rivalry in Pennsylvania and the B&O reached Detroit. This is however in western Michigan. The NYC passed a block or so to the west (left) and the PRR half a block to the right.

Sooo.... "How about Kalamazoo or Grand Rapids land as both the NYC and PRR seemed to have gone through those?"

Kalamazoo.

Kalamazoo.

Ah ha, found it. 861 E Crosstown Pkwy just south of downtown Kzoo, a little south of the Gibson switch: https://goo.gl/maps/KpCDstZM4zCsqKHp7

Kalamazoo.

How does one randomly find something like a trailer sitting off in the distance with Reading on the side? Or, did you already know about it being there?

[PatAzo]

I drove past one day and "Reading" caught my eye.

[J T]

Ahh, ok. I was gonna say...that's some super searching power (or luck) if you were just randomly looking at street views in the Kzoo area.
