Artifacts At Ade

One last look at NYC Ade, Indiana before I move on. Conrail abandoned this segment of the NYC's Egyptian line in 1999. Even though the line has been gone for over 20 years, these remnants still exist. For such a small location, one could almost start a museum from what's left just here. These are some photos I have taken of what is left, because there is nothing left to photograph. Short descriptions of each will go left to right, top to bottom...

 

The elevator which we all see from US 41 as we drive by....

Looking south towards Kentland through the village.

Looking south again along the old elevator track...

A date on the mainline rail of 1929...

A raise flanger sign...

Crossbuck at Ross Street...

Looking north from Ross Street towards Morocco...

Some sort of rail tag reading "Cleveland 6 1947 K 22 16-6 127 D"...

The elevator track pic again, which I mistakenly used twice...

The switch stand for the stub track opposite the elevator...

And the derail switch.

 

This is Ade, Indiana nowadays. I left these in color so everything could be seen as is.
