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.

Train Cemetery - Uyuni
In 1872 began the construction of the railway from Antofagasta to Bolivia, the first railway line in the country. It was used to transport raw materials such as sodium nitrate and other salts, but also metals such as copper, silver, and gold, from inland mines to port cities on the Pacific Ocean. When the railway reached Uyuni at the end of the 19th century, a railway depot was built in the town. Uyuni then became an important railway junction. Around the 1940s, the local industry collapsed and most of the precious metal mines were abandoned. As a result, the locomotives and railcars were no longer needed, were shut down and left abandoned.
There is a total of around 100 locomotives and carriages in the railway graveyard, the oldest of which date from the late 19th century.
Cementerio de Trenes - Uyuni
En 1872 se inició la construcción del Ferrocarril de Antofagasta a Bolivia, la primera línea férrea de Bolivia. Se utilizaba para transportar materias primas como el nitrato de sodio y otras sales, pero también metales como el cobre, la plata y el oro, desde las minas del interior hasta las ciudades portuarias del Océano Pacífico. Cuando la vía férrea llegó a Uyuni a finales del siglo XIX se construyó un depósito ferroviario en el pueblo. Uyuni se convirtió en ese entonces en un importante nudo ferroviario. Alrededor de la década de 1940, la industria local colapsó y la mayoría de las minas de metales preciosos fueron abandonadas. Como resultado, la mayoría de las locomotoras y vagones ya no fueron necesarios, se apagaron y se dejaron en abandono.
Hay un total de alrededor de 100 locomotoras y vagones en el cementerio ferroviario, los más antiguos de los cuales datan de finales del siglo XIX.

The yard is mowed but the house is a ruin. Found this while transferring images from Aperture to Photos.
Indiana Railroad SAHW rolls passed Lake Lemon near Bloomington, Indiana on a dreary but colorful fall afternoon with a SD40-2 and a SD9043MAC doing the honors.
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.
Highland "ND" Tower, a lineman's paradise. The tower did not survive long after this photo. Traffic on this line (the Danville Secondary, Egyptian Line) has declined as well. Here we are viewing an eastbound, probably headed for Elkhart.
August 1981.
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.
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.
Outside Madison, Indiana, I discovered a cloud factory. Must have been on reduced capacity that day. Still, it was putting out quality work.
The 1911-built Camden Grain Elevator sits dormant on a clear, cool night. The elevator was once served by the Vandalia, PRR, PC, then CR before shutting down sometime during the Conrail days. One who looks up at its broken, busted windows may find a Turkey Vulture posted on a window sill, searching for its next meal.
Today's CERA, operated by the TP&W, shakes the derelict elevator about once a week, operating short freights down to Bringhurst to serve agriculture-related customers.
My only encounter with Indiana Railroad's SD9043MACs was early one morning in southern Indiana. INRD 9013 and 9012 were standing silent, awaiting a train of empties to be ready for pulling at Hoosier Energy. These big EMDs have since been replaced by former Norfolk Southern SD70Ms.
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!

We were in Orange county for a few days, with a one day visit to Disneyland. This river is part of the Indiana Jones Adventure, Temple of the Forbidden Eye.
I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposure, merged them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate your critical feedback.
