Mystery Photos: Guess the Location

We haven't had a Mystery Photos posting in a long time, so let's have one now. Here is a photo of a railroad crossing in Sandusky. Do you recognize the location?Here are a couple of other scenes, in the same area. (I covered over the street signs in one picture, so you can't cheat!)
Feel free to take your guess in the comments section. I will post the answer in the comments within a few days.

The answer is in the comments section.

Looks like 101 (Tiffin Ave.) as your headed north toward the Venice Road - West Perkins Ave intersection

These are a good idea - please do this again. And thanks.

Sorry, no correct answers yet. I'll post the answer this week. . . . you might get a hint from one of the other mystery photos (but it won't be a great hint, I'll admit).

Milan Road (route 250) where the overpass over the tracks was built that directs traffic over to Cleveland Road and then on to Cedar Point. The large white building on the left was the Morgan Linen Service...Ron Schneider, Longwood, Florida

We have a winner!!

You're exactly right. These pictures were all taken on June 6, 1967 on Milan Road, where the Cedar Point overpass is today. The first picture shows what was then still a grade crossing. The second image is just beyond the crossing; the side street on the right is 42nd Street. The third picture shows another view at the corner of 42nd Street and Milan Road.

The comment by Ron Schneider is correct, that is Milan Rd at the NYC crossing.
