Where Is It?

I'll throw out one more, this time something a little less generic looking. To get started, this was once upon a time New York Central trackage, and under Penn Central was part of the Detroit Division.

Is this near Rockwood?

Not Rockwood, head north. This location was near an interlocking tower.

Near Carleton?

[C&O Dispatcher]

Sumpter Road, Exeter Township, on the former DT&I

Probably close to where northbound DT&I trains were "on the bell" when I worked at Carleton tower.

South Elm Street in Lapeer on the former NYC Mackinaw Branch, south of the GTW (now CN).

Seems about right, DaveO. South of Carleton, there used to be a siding at Maybee, further south a long storage track, and another siding just north of Diann. Not sure if any of them are left now.

Bingo! It’s South Elm Street looking north.

Yes, indeed its S Elm Street crossing with the former NYC Mackinaw Branch, now LI RR, south off the former GTW RR main line, now CN. Final run of the remaining old NYC RR passenger train between Detroit and Bay City with stops in Lapeer, was made on March 19, 1964.

Where be it? It's some industry for AARR's enjoyment. This is a google street view image.

Edwardsburg. Midwest Timber.

[~Z~]

That was entirely too fast Michael. No hints even, nice.

[AARR]

Michael seems confident so I’ll agree

Edwardsburg. Midwest Timber.

[Michael]

Yes. I had the very same photo in a group of Where Is It photos ready to go

[~Z~]

Like minds think alike I guess, even though I haven't met you...
Anyway, this one might be tough, but let's hope Michael doesn't have this photo already. I'm standing the ROW, tracks have since been removed. Tracks run northeast to southwest, and they run from the bottom of the photo to off frame to the left. We're looking at a baseball field that's now being overtaken by grass, and the park is barely still called a park.

I guess we will need hints. Is this in the greater Grand Rapids area?

I believe you were looking at Lions Park on the southwest side of Owosso.

No hints needed Michael - Standard Railfan nailed it. I played baseball there back in the day, and a good friend's old house is in the distance, Josh Tuma.
