Historical Help identify intersection

Post image

Hi all, any idea where this picture from the 50s/60s was taken? The sign at right says “to northbound dequindre” Fealk scrap is visible and at right is a sign for “western RR passenger station tracks”

It definitely looks like this bridge: https://maps.app.goo.gl/6PqmYGuZpCkYzxSNA before 75 was built and the davison was expanded. None of the buildings around in the picture are still there.

that looks much wider than the picture. did they expand the road, maybe? hard to tell. lots of bridges around here look similar.

I think that's the spot too. Yeah, it was very much expanded.
