Where Is It?
Re: Where Is It?
When I have access to a map I can. Although it’s called Petoskey now at one time long ago the railroad called this location Foreman.
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

Re: Where Is It?
Correct!! That's Cross Street and N River Road in Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, looking east along Cross Street. All the buildings including the old fashioned railroad crossing gates tower on the east side of the steam train above are still there now. Only a NS RR local freight train and six Amtrak trains (three in each direction) pass through that crossing now, Would be nice for someone to post a "now" picture.

Re: Where Is It?
Depot Town it is, and here you go Rodney. The closest I could get with Google Street view from 2011.
Both good guesses David but Dan for the win.

Yes, N Straits Hwy, aka M-27 aka former US-27, in Inverness Township, south of Cheboygan in Cheboygan County. Old ROW of the former Michigan Central RR. Final run of the old New York Central RR remaining passenger train that ran between Bay City and Mackinaw City with stops in Cheboygan was made on September 3, 1962.David Collins wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 10:11 amCorrect!Standard Railfan wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 10:11 amNorth Straits Highway south of Cheboygan former Michigan Central ROW

Re: Where Is It?
I recognized that one visual hint immediately.
But I'm going to guess nobody else will.
