At the very still headwaters of the Little Calumet River which meanders for about 25 miles towards Lake Michigan.
The lake and small falls here form the headwaters of the Little Calumet River which winds its way for about 60 miles towards Chicago.
The Louisville & Indiana's Z550 has just picked up a string of cars off the Indiana Railroad and is heading up the ramp. Their 25th anniversary unit is on the point with their Veterans unit trailing. Down below the Indiana Railroad's SAHW road train is pulled down and waiting on a road crew to show up for their run south out of town. The Indiana Railroad's 25th anniversary unit also happened to be in that power set. I haven't done a lot with either railroad but was certainly happy to luck into a day where the LIRC interchanged with the INRD catching both classy Indiana Railroads in one frame.

The yard is mowed but the house is a ruin. Found this while transferring images from Aperture to Photos.

Happy Wednesday! Have a great day and thanks for viewing!
In golden light at the end of a long spring day, a Conrail ELSF train heads into the setting sun at 7:33 p.m. on May 28, 1989, at Chesterton, Indiana. The westbound freight is powered by an all-Santa Fe run through locomotive consist, led by Kodachrome EMD F45 No. 5950, heading back to home rails on the Conrail main line.
Another Grand Trunk westbound in a holding pattern at Calumet Avenue. This was a common place for the Troy Dispatcher to hold trains before launching them into the Chicago Terminal mess. Since CN sold the line west of here, this doesn't happen often.
Outside Madison, Indiana, I discovered a cloud factory. Must have been on reduced capacity that day. Still, it was putting out quality work.
CSX train Q560 passes the B&O signals at MP 79 near Hayden, Indiana. This train is made up of at least three trains that will be broken up in Cincinnati before heading to Toledo's Stanley Yard.
Code line and color position light signals still stand at this well documented location along the former B&O near Nebraska, Indiana while the daily Q504 rumbles by on this gloomy November day.
A Cambria & Indiana caboose hop passes through Ebensburg, Pennsylvania on its way to pick up empties.
A contender for shot of the trip last week is the Switz City Turn here making a pickup off the Indiana Southern at Switz City, October 20.
CSS GP38-2's 2005, 1001, and 2007 lead the way of train AF-11 as it departs Kirk Yard onto the city track at Pine Junction located in Gary, IN.
On a disgustingly humid Sunday, the sun breaks away from the clouds just in time to shine on two South Shore Freights meeting on the west end of their Bailly Yard in Burns Harbor, Indiana.
On the left, a “Nice Guy” in the seat pauses for a couple frames before shoving into Bailly for the rest of their train for a total of 35 cars with CSS 2002 (GP38-2) and FURX 4226 (GP40-2). The job is AF12, the recently reinstated transfer to CSX East Chicago Pegasus Yard, at the time of the photo, the job has been online for a full week for the first time since 2017.
On the right, a trio of traction orange GP38-2s (2009/2007/2001) on train PF10 pull up to the signal on Main 2 at the west end of Bailly after completing their customer work on the east side of Michigan City, now waiting for AF12 to take off west so they can shove into Bailly.
This was my first time out towards the east end of the railroad since the NICTD Double Track Project has been completed and it was great to be back in action chasing friends on the CSS again. So much has been and will be changed in the past two years, granted it was a Sunday, holding freights on the main for long periods of time wasn’t nearly as possible or easy before due to the “silver sausage” commuter traffic. NICTD Dispatchers are still learning how to route trains around on the double track but it’s nice having everything completed, as well as daylight freights, now just added anxiety with track speed being 40MPH from Michigan City to Chicago and trying chase in the concrete jungle that NWI is turning into!
