Dates:1/30/2010 - 1/30/2010
Album Info:On a cold but beautiful sunny day, I head back to the tracks to see what's happening. Starting in Michigan, I follow CSX's Grand Rapids Sub-division out of Holland to the Michigan/Indiana stateline. I then proceed south to Norfolk Southern rails at LaPorte, following the rail line towards Gary, along with making a visit to Willow Creek junction in Portage and Indiana Harbor Belt's Michigan Ave. Yard in East Chicago.
