NS Rail Train in Amtrak service, Michigan City, Indiana |
| Description: |
By Esther Fairchild: This rail train is actually in use on Amtrak, which was laying new rail on the "Michigan Division" (old Michigan Central) between Michigan City and Porter, Indiana in the summer of 2011. In the background is the big stack of the Nipsco Michigan City generating plant, a coal-fired power station served by the South Shore freight railroad. |

Pushing Home |
| Description: |
A set of Amtrak Bi-Level cars serves as the evening ride home from Chicago for Indiana commuters. Buffington Harbor, on the south shore of Lake Michigan and the name of area around the place where this photo was made, was at one time a teeming industrial base. Now all that (and the Amtrak commuter train, too) is gone. I believe the cars are ex-Chicago and North Western; the train schedule (which I think was called "The Calumet") was a remnant from the Pennsylvania Railroad twice each way commuter trains between Valparaiso, Indiana, and Chicago Union Station; those trains survived even into Conrail times. . Date very approximate. |

A tri-fecta of "GP-38" type locomotives from Grand Trunk Western, Detroit, Toledo and Ironton, and Chicago South Shore and South Bend move west on the eastbound track of the GTW's South Bend Subdivision, which at this point skirts the old Kingsbury Munitions Plant (parts of which are now a wildlife refuge and an industrial park). Date approximate; I believe the second locomotive was GTW 6227, formerly DT&I 227. The South Shore unit might have been 2009. |

Interlocking control button panel at NS "HICJ" tower |
| Description: |
(exact date unknown) This is a close-up photograph of the "HICK" (how it got that name I'll never know) interlocking station control station. The operator there, who has sinc[ been replaced by "modern" technology, controlled three interlockings: "HICK" (503), 502, and 100. Additionally, the operator was a bridge tender controlling (when I visited there) two drawbridges over"the Indiana Harbor Ship Canal. From what I remember, the buttons worked like this: First, the operator would select the interlocking he wanted to work: 503, 100, or 502. The odd-number buttons were to select a switch; once selected, the "NOR" or "REV" buttons would select Normal or Reverse on the switch position. The even-numbered buttons (green ones) would select a signal to cleap. The START button sent the chosen "command" to the interlocking, causing the lights on the "panel board" (see http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2835624 ) to flash on the appropriate devices until they were properly set-up, then the lights would burn steady wo indicate the switch or signal was in the desired status. Additional buttons below, some of which are missing, were for "location cancel" (reset the panel), SM OL and OFF (snow melter), and MC ON and OFF (maintainer call). I don't remember what the ACK button was for. |

Interlocking control "Model Board" (control panel) at NS "HICK" tower |
| Description: |
On board, West toward Souwh Chicago (EJ&E), Whiting (CSX), and Chicago (NS) from top on left, East toward Lakefront Yard (IHB), Gary (EJ&E) and Elkhart (NS) from top right, and South toward IHB RR lower keft. All of this is now remote-controlled by dispatchers elsewhere; "HICK" (originally HC on the New York Central) is now plain old "CP 503". Interesting features include: Conrail-era "C&S" (signal department) padlocks securing the panels (required to prevent unauthorized modifications; I believe this is a fedelally mandated security measure to prevent tampering in case of an "incident"), the operator's reading glasses on the table lower left, and the ultra-low budget humdifier (aluminum pan of water set on top the radiator lower right). Beige box on table in fromt of ample paper towel supply is a "line" box to speak over the dispatcher's "wire" (like an intercom, only over hundreds of miles - in this case, stations from Chicago to Dearborn, Michigan). Desk microphone (to left of glasses on side table) is connected to a marine-frequency radio for communication with Lake Boats and barges moving through the Indiana Harbor canal; the operator at HICK also controlled a set of draw bridges (see http://genevamay.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2835613 for a picture of one of the bridges). (exact date unknown) |

Indiana and Ohio "station", Leipsic, Ohio |
| Description: |
Old Grand Trunk Western (and before that, Detroit, Toledo, and Ironton) building at Leipsic, Ohio, in use by the Indiana and Ohio (which re-used the unique GTW oval station sign). I think that's a side-view mirror off a semi-truck mounted to the wall at the near corner of the building, perhaps put there so whoever was inside could see when a train was approaching. |

Look, Ma - No Pants |
| Description: |
NS 9890 leads CEFX 6019 and CEFX 6012 westward under the Laughlin bridge at Ambridge. On the frame line above the lead truck of the 9890 someone has carefully painted the words "NO PANTS" (in italics, no less). I'm pretty sure I don't want to know why. |
