Laporte Question

Unread post by GreatLakesRailfan »

I searched the Indiana forum and didn't see the answer to my question, please forgive me if this information is posted elsewhere.

I see people post reports fairly frequently of stuff they've seen in LaPorte. Is there a specific location people watch trains at in LaPorte and if so, where is it?

Thank you for any information you can share.

I've parked near Washington St and Adams St in one of the dirt lots with no issues before: https://goo.gl/maps/2wlx7

Also have parked just north of the bridge at N 150 E and sat on the bridge to watch the freights go by: https://goo.gl/maps/Dt2aj

I love going out of La Porte on US 2 and follow it to W100S just out side of Pinola. The tracks follow the road on a curve, there is room to park along side the road and the tracks, plus there are signals both ways so you can tell if something is coming.
