Yes, its Laurel Street crossing of GLC RR looking north toward the next crossing which is Dresen Street. Chalker Park can be seen on the right. All in Kalkaska, MI. Final run of the remaining passenger train on the old Pennsy RR from Mackinaw City to Fort Wayne, IN whith stop in Kalkaska, was made on September 4, 1961.

Newberry Michigan. The Asylum spur about two blocks south of the main line. I believe the metal building in the center was formerly an axe handle factory.

Re: Where Is It?
Nailed it. It's a nice shot though of the bridge and the falls right?
Re: Where Is It?
Looks like a great place to hike too

Great view from a locomotive cab as well.

Re: Where Is It?
Indeed it is! I'm not familiar with the terrain there. Is this a drone shot or is there a bluff you're shooting from for this vantage point?

Re: Where Is It?
While Dave is right that it's an image on google's street view, it most certainly isn't from a vehicle. Here's a link to the photo that lets you do a 360 degree view of the photo location. Was most definitely taken with a drone: https://goo.gl/maps/C3dwCcyD6uA78rhRA
