From May to September of 2023, action on Indiana Harbor Belt’s West End was one for ages. Sunlight, great consists, and runbys were more than spectacular this year. The West End may not much to look at but it’s where you’ll find all the road trains that haul heavy tonnage with veteran GP40s and GP38s on their transfers to the Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific and Belt Railway of Chicago. All filmed between Blue Island and Summit, Illinois, mostly the same locations as west of my hometown of Alsip, the line begins elevate and have little to no crossings or accessible locations.
