The Real Terminator
a tale of heroism (and fallen railroads)
The "problematic" "waste of time" "senseless" BH18 local trundles back west for Calumet Yard up the District. The daily train runs through beautiful scenic totally not trashy Gary. Times have changed in recent years for these guys - now using the CSX Porter Branch rather than the abandoned-since-2013 NS Gary Branch - former Wabash. The Porter Branch dodges the heart of the city better - so crews generally don't have to complain about getting shot at by those "on the street" anymore.
So what do they serve, anyway? One bakery, usually 2-5 cars in each direction - enjoy your bread, train crews almost died to make it a possibility!
In other rant-worthy interest, NKP remnants say we're 503 miles to Buffalo, New York. Hidden gems lie all around the region.
