The Real Terminator
11th Street's Last Stand
Looking back to a dreary spring day along the South Shore finds a PF9 heading west down the fragments of 11th Street, in Michigan City. MAP had given me an early heads up about these guys the night before, as they had days worth of backlog to move thanks to a construction outage temporarily severing the east end of the railroad from the west. At this point the Double Track NWI project was well underway, evidenced by the absent pavement (and appropriately parked skidsteer) in the foreground.
Needless to say, this scene is totally unrecognizable today.
