No more Beer Line in Brewtown
Looking northwest from Highway 57 along the ROW of the former Milwaukee Road Chestnut Street or "Beer" Line. The rails remain only at the crossings, as in the foreground.

This looks a lot like my home area Flint, MI. With the closing of Buick City, AC, and a few other plants, GTW/CN has been ripping everthing in the city that use to service GM up. CSX also has abandond a lot of track. Their Buick City branch was chopped into a siding where CSX stores mothballed CR/NYC box cars. CSX also sold the line from Flint to Saginaw to a short line (LSRC). Your pictures are great! Rust belt to Rust belt.
