This is a locomotive steam train on tracks near Howell Michigan.
The location bears a very similar appearance to the Isbell Street "Jewett Bridge" cut, down to similar telegraph pole placement on the right side of the tracks. Tracks would therefore be the Detroit, Lansing & Northern/Pere Marquette/Chesapeake and Ohio, and currently CSX trackage running east/west through the city.
