Former Death Star
IC SD70 1009 heads up a CN manifest taking the sharp curve on the former EJ&E Rwy., in the Griffith Interlocking in downtown Griffith, Indiana. This train has departed Kirk Yard in Gary and is headed for parts unknown. The 1009 is an SD70 built in 1995 for Illinois Central in the black "Death Star" livery. Another SD70 still in Death Star black, and two BNSF orange pumpkins trail.
The EJ&E once continued straight off in a northeasterly direction here also, connecting with the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern (later NYC) in Porter, Indiana.
