Is that along Kensington Road in West Bloomfield?
This offended me :lol:. it's actually Bloomfield Township.

I do get your point though.

Somewhere in the mess of tracks on the Northside of Toledo? Maybe on IORY to the west?
In Toledo, a short line runs here.

Guessing it's on AA, don't know of any other shortline in Toledo. Browsed up and down their trackage, just can't find it.
Believe the rest of the trackages is all Class 1...this map is accurate, right? https://railfanguides.us/oh/toledo/map1.htm
Don't know Toledo trackage well enough.

That certainly makes sense the maps were a bit outdated. AA serves that Mondezlez site, cool.
Street view looking north at the same crossing with the local plant switcher and presumed AA power:

The AI must've thought that it was a license plate, google really tries to hide that.


Decided to show my inner avgeek a bit with this photo, but there's some tracks in it, obviously not in state, but where is it?

Extra credit if you can guess what aircraft are built in this factory, and what railroad serves it :D
