NS Chicago Line: A Modern Superhighway 2

Unread post by Saturnalia »

This is a work that I have been working on for some time, with dual film dates and many hours spent on putting all the footage together. Thanks to AMTK55 for having the urge to foam on July 1st, which made this production into what it really is, with over half the footage from that date.

NS Chicago Line: A Modern Superhighway 2

Norfolk Southern's Chicago Line is one of America's foremost rail freight corridors, handling an endless parade of trains. In this presentation, we'll be covering the Williamsburg (403) to Porter (482) segment of the line, running through northwestern Indiana.

We'll see just about everything this line has to offer, shot on two days in April and July, 2015. Included in this presentation:

- Williamsburg (403)
- Goshen (412)
- The Goshen to Elkhart triple-track project: midway under construction and the final product!
- Elkhart Terminal (421 and 426)
- South Bend (435)
- New Carlisle (448)
- Laporte/Pinola (462-466)
- Otis Hill
- Chesterton/Porter (482)

And much more!

Detailed narration provides plenty of exposition and documentary, however if you have any questions, let them fly in comments!
