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.
Late afternoon hike along the West Beach Trail. On the other side of the sand dune are some smaller dunes, the beach and Lake Michigan.

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 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.

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.
Taken near Rome City Indiana.I didn't expect the sen to poke through the clouds here before it totally set.
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.
A long and heavy eastbound INER grain train pushes some soot as the engineer throttles up out of South Milford, Indiana on it's way to Montpelier, Ohio
There , they will hand the train off to Norfolk Southern.
As the fog lifted, I stumbled upon the sun gleaming through the face of "Atropos Key". I don't believe it happens very often...
The artist Stewart, who believed in extraterrestrials, included cosmic symbols in the sculpture's surface..
A character in Greek mythology, Atropos (often depicted with scissors) was responsible for the destiny of humankind. Uh-oh...
A Cambria & Indiana caboose hop passes through Ebensburg, Pennsylvania on its way to pick up empties.
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.
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.
