A Day With AF-2
A couple of friends and I decided to follow Chicago, South Shore & South Bend freight job AF-2 on Wednesday, November 10th, 2021, which runs from Michigan City to Kingsbury, Indiana on the former NKP (LE&W) line. I know little about this old line and had no idea about AF-2. This day turned out great and I will be posting shots I took between Michigan City, Indiana and Stillwell, Indiana. When the train got to Kingsbury and we finally found it, it was too dark for pics.
This chase needs to be done in the summertime.
In this photo, the South Shore AF-2 job is finally getting their turn at the diamond in LaPorte, Indiana at "WIRE" interlocking. The tower that was here was in the same quadrant as I am standing, and in the LS&MS days was referred to as "C" tower. Later, the NYC renamed it "WR" tower. After it was removed, the interlocking was controlled from "JD" tower just west of here.
CSS GP38-2's #2005-2006 were built by EMD in 1981.
