Kingsbury Critter

Well, not a critter exactly, but here's JBC Rail Services GP35(?) 3517 resting in the last seconds of sunlight at Kingsbury Industrial Park in rural La Porte County, Indiana.

 

The park, such as it is, was formerly the Kingsbury Ordnance Plant, used during World War Two. Since the Army divested itself of the huge complex, it has struggled to find business. JBC is the major user of the facility, storing railcars on the miles of spurs connecting the former ordnance warehouses. Judging by stacks and pallets of material, a couple other customers must use the warehouses as well, though it's hard to tell, as access seems almost as restricted as it must have been while the Army was here!
