The road seems to be part of a tire testing facility.
TBF, so is I-94
These tire testers / street racers / thugs / freeway conquistadors were "Under The CN wit it".
Wait, CN? I thought it was NS. Perhaps this isn't where I thought it was

Looks an awful lot like home to me. Looking down on Thurmond, WV. East end of Rush Run siding and west end of double track at the coal dock. Our winter home is several miles down the New River at Hawks Nest (Ansted), and I spend a lot of time down in Thurmond. Gotta love the C&O mainline and the spectacular territory it runs through.

Yepper! It's PON Junction on the Belt Line looking east towards the Romeo Sub. It's south of E Walton Blvd and east of Price Street in Pontiac, Oakland County. The trackage in the distance was the old Cass City Sub. I lives about two miles west of the these top shots above.

Yes, definately Thurmond, WV along the New River. Amtrak train #50 and #51 operates Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays with stop at Thurmond, WV both eastbound and westbound. That town have only five persons lives in that town.

Not in the 313 or on the Michigan Line. But in the lower peninsula.
