It also handles plastics, fiberboard, aluminum, copper, coal, perlite, stone, lumber, glass, rendering products, as well as agricultural fertilizers and chemicals.
Indiana Northeastern routes consist of approximately 70 miles in Michigan, 44 miles in Indiana and 9 miles in Ohio. From its headquarters and operational hub in the city of Hillsdale, Michigan, in Hillsdale County, Indiana's northernmost route runs northwest into Jonesville, Michigan, and then predominantly west into Branch County through Quincy to a terminus at Coldwater, Michigan. IN also has a 7-mile branch line from Jonesville to Litchfield, Michigan. The tracks IN operates on between Quincy and Coldwater are owned by the Branch County Rail Users Association (RUA). The Little River Railroad also operates steam excursions on the route between Coldwater and Quincy.
IN's route south of Hillsdale heads southwest through unincorporated Bankers, Michigan and through Reading, Montgomery and Ray. Where it enters Steuben County, Indiana and proceeds through Fremont, Angola, Pleasant Lake and into Steubenville, Indiana where it junctions with IN's southernmost east-west route. All of the trackage IN operates on in Michigan is owned by the State of Michigan with the exception of the portion owned by the RUA.
The southernmost route of IN trackage heads east from South Milford in LaGrange County, Indiana into Stuben County through Helmer, Hudson and Ashley, Indiana. Then proceeds through the junction at Stubenville and on through Hamilton before entering Williams County, Ohio. It then passes through the Village of Edon before arriving at Montpelier, Ohio where it interchanges its traffic with the Norfolk Southern Railway on its Detroit to Fort Wayne line.

Great videos . Why does he lean on the horn?

[@MNRails]

Good question, I was wondering that as well.

[@csxtrainman7603]

What kind of camcorder do you use

[@MNRails]

Most of not all of the video on this one was shot with a Canon CIXIA HFG50. I also use a GoPro 9 Black, iPhone XS and my DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone.
