| Remarks & Notes |
| Another piece of history vanishes: It may be the dead of winter, but the business of moving the midwest's agricultural products hasn't stopped at the Graham Grain elevator in Terre Haute, Indiana. After shoving a cut of loads down to the CSX interchange at Spring Hill, the elevator's switcher trundles through a snow shower northward on the old Evansville & Indianapolis Railroad mainline -- by this point in 2005 having long ago been downgraded in status and renamed the Peavey Grain Spur -- approaching the crossing with Canadian Pacific's South Belt spur, where the signal which once protected the diamond still stands (its modern replacement is a boring stop sign). Sadly, this piece of trackage will soon host its last train; the diamond with Indiana Rail Road's Chicago Sub at Spring Hill will be ripped out, grade crossings along the line will be cut, and a connection with the South Belt at this location is under construction to permit traffic to be handled via the INRD in the future. Scanned from Provia 100F. |
