Retuning East At Wade Jct. - La Crosse, Indiana
IBCX 1716 takes a short Chesapeake & Indiana eastbound past QN Cabin at Wade Jct. in La Crosse, Indiana. The C&O manned the cabin, which guarded the one time C&O/Monon Michigan City Branch crossing. The building was constructed circa 1948 to replace a wooden structure, then was closed circa 1954, when the C&O installed CTC and made the interlocking automatic. 70 years after the tower closed, it still stands today, as a reminder of, and a link to a different era.
