Was this in Jones, MI, on the "Air Line" between Three Rivers and Niles?
Thanks for sharing. Can imagin the stack-talk going slowly and surly up grade!
The location is just west of Wyoming Avenue in Dearborn, south of Michigan Avenue. Wyoming Avenue is the boundary Deaborn - Detroit. I think the Kasle Steel plant is still there with a different owner, possibly retaining the name, however; but I think Jones Iron and Metal is only in Kansas City (one state or the other). Jones was the plant just north of Kasle, the two adjacent and served by the same siding as if one industry, with car deliveries and pick-ups coordinated by the two firms. If some reader drives south of Michigan Ave on Wyoming Avenue, or rides the bus, some reporting on what is there now would be welcome. Also, is the DSR streetcar complex at the corner of Wyoming and Michigan now a bus facility or some factory or whatever? And is the running track west of Wyolming still there, never mind the siding? Probably connected the main east-west now NS, was MC(NYC), line with the River Rouge Plant and hopefully still does so.
