Looked like somewhere on Grinnell or French, but not finding it yet. Browsing google street view - man, that area of detroit is pretty run down.
On the plus side, found one of many boats:

It looks like that spur went all the way down to Merkur Steel down at the corner of French & Madola although most of the building is gone now.

I had to google where Madola Street was. It's more like a grassy alleyway now. That whole area off Van Dyke across from Forest Lawn Cemetery only has a few occupied homes left.

Pretty easy to find...for me.
The September, 2011 google street view even has the correct billboard graphic.

Indeed, Lynch Road, just east of Van Dyke Road, Detroit. The spur was off the connection with the Conrail Share Asset Terminal East Spur.

Surprised nobody going for this one.
So, Eastbound 8 Mile @ Mt. Clemens sub.
What gave it away...
Not too many at grade crossings with a one way 4 (or more) lanes wide roadway.
