Anybody recognize the setting?


No, but I think that chap's been borrowing my tweed jacket!

The description says filmed at (along?) the "Grand Trunk RR", which led me
to this:

So, the line ran between Detroit and Grand Haven. Potentially the Grand
River? I don't know that area very well, perhaps Wayne could chime in.
I'm
guessing whichever river it is doesn't have brook trout in it any more.



Looking at this:

I'd be surprised if we ever identified that river. There are a lot of little
streams in the Grand Trunk RR network.
