What was the obstruction in Michigan City that delayed trains a few days ago?

apparently an oversized container car hit a bridge, don't they have clearance info?

I recall seeing this video of some train crawling under a bridge and the cars were too tall and scrape scrape they all were getting top shredded.

a new pdf came out on the route. http://www.nictdwestlake.com/pdf/scoping-summary.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I am not sure they planned to use the destroyed Monon bascule bridge, but it looks like a reroute. Anything on this Ken Morrison for scrapping this bridge ou...

OK then - consider it done. Side note: I want to see a four-truck freight motor in action, after seeing them in Middleton's book. That's something that no mainline diesel-powered freight can ever replicate nowadays. heh, I am working on my 4 truck North Shore box cab freight motor imported by Milwa...

They may want to stay at the airport for that airport interconnectivety. But I wondered if they could run up to the Union Station. It sux that even Amtrak st...

5 miles away can be enough for a different ridership demand and choice. As far as taking the same route in as Metra and terminus, nope gotta spread that out, rush hour you know. If NICTD beats them at the build tho, it might prove the metra line might not be needed...or not not needed...er, you catc...

was the school on fire too?

could be work in progress, more to come, but had to stub end them (protect them as they are live rails)

borrowing from another thread...

As far as the gallery car schedules, I know they are run on Trains 116, 109, and 211, not sure about other schedules.

There was not enough overhead clearance on the Skokie Valley for catenary construction, and it was not feasible to lower the roadbed because of the water table underneath the roadbed. So there was no other alternative but to run third rail to East Prairie. thats exactly it, we had a long discussion...
