I usually keep pretty good notes, but there are some years in the late '90s where either I didn't, or have misplaced them. Even without notes from back then, I can usually figure out where I was, but this week's video I hit a wall.
There are 4 shots here, #2 is obviously a southbound CN in Royal Oak, but the other 3 are puzzling. I have guesses, but comparing to current photos, things are not matching up at all.
So, anybody know where these were filmed?

I will guess the Amtrak video is around Ann Arbor
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...

That is my guess as well, the trees have grown in a lot which made it hard to find that tall building in the background at 1:20.
The number on the signals would seem to put them between Ann Arbor & Dexter, so I need to find out when they took the 2nd track out. Didn't realize it was still there that late.
The CSX train feels like Howell, but I can't match up any of the buildings.
