I live in Laporte, IN. This line is still very, very busy. I always wished the Amtrak stopped in Laporte but South Bend is where you would have to get it. The classic old NYC station has actually been restored but isn't used for much. The line only serves ine industry in Laporte. American Renolit (plastic pellets).

Really nice coverage of one of the best lines for trainwatching in the eastern US. Norfolk Southern has replaced the NYC gantry at CP 435 (for a more detailed look at the old one, search KZbin for "Classic NYC Cantilever Railroad Signal Bridge"). Last time I was at that point the old GRS type G triple head signals facing east were still there, governing movements of westbound NS diesel lashups like they used to govern NYC Hudsons and Mohawks.

The CP trains used to run on the CSX from Detroit up to Grand Rapids and then down to Porter on the old Pere Marquette route. Now they run on former Wabash rail down to Butler, IN and then on NS (NYC, PC) up to Porter. I suppose CN had no interest in letting CP use their mainline (former Grand Trunk) through MI and IN to Chicago.

What is the safest town to railfan the NS Chicago line in. It has perfect ATCS monitoring and a ton of trains but I always get stuck at what towns are safe to railfan along the line. And I mean in Illinois. I would rather not go into Indiana on a one day railfanning trip.

+Ace Railroad Productions For your information, Railroad police are provided police authority from state and local governments and are an authorized interstate authority by the federal government. The right of way for U.S. Class 1 railroads is 100 feet from the center of the track. Railroads in the United States are private property, if you are on the right of way and are caught you're subject to arrest for trespassing. Rent-A-Cops usually do not carry firearms, Railroad Police do. How would you like it if someone came into your home unauthorized, started belittling you and caught it all on film?

+Thornapple River Rail Series The NS may send through manifests to other railroads in Chicago but not to the BNSF. They'll send through intermodal trains via the Chillicothe Sub at Corwith and very rarely via the Chicago Sub at Western Ave. Manifests are interchanged via Streator on the Chillicothe Sub.
@ThornappleRiverRailSeries
@ThornappleRiverRailSeries 9 жыл бұрын
So the manifests to Streator don't count as run-through? I can assure you it's the manifests go that way, taking the turn at Porter. Intermodal all goes towards downtown Chicago for interchange -- some run through, some not.

@MrMocha413 9 жыл бұрын
+Thornapple River Rail Series You're right, Porter to Streator for interchange. Don't be surprised to see a through manifest popping up daily on the Chicago Sub heading west. I got word of this last night.

Ok! I'll admit it! I didn't sit through the ENTIRE video! I couldn't really! But all this talk of new Signal Bridges, and new Signals in General, does that mean That AMTRAK will Stop at The Legendary Elkhart RR Depot🚂 again!!?? I heard from a "semi reliable" source, that was the Reason AMTRAK wouldn't stop In ELKHART any longer!! They wanted NFS , or CONRAIL, Or Whoever it was to Replace the old Signals!! Not Sure how True that is, but I'd like to See AMTRAK stopping at the old Depot again!!

Amtrak still stops at Elkhart. In fact I have an updated video that details the changes. They re-aligned the mains so the track no longer passes right by the station, but perhaps 40-50 feet away - they built a new platform for it.
