This street running and trackage reminds me of North Shore Line's Shore Line Route.

It would be cool if they could just widen the street a bit and have double track street running, I know it’s a little more dangerous but, double track street running did exist, just as a minor precaution when two trains pass each other in the street for them to slow down just a bit until they pass each then resume normal street running speed. As I double tracked running did exist, also somewhat still does in Jack London Square in Oakland California, but also any street cars lines still operating such as SEPTA are double tracked but just trolley cars.

@@LibertyRailfan It would have been simpler to widen 10th and 11th Streets in Michigan City IN. It's sad how people are forced to move businesses and residents alike.

I think the remainder of the line east of Michigan City IN should be double tracked as the final faze of improvements and speed up service from South Bend International Airport.

Albert Carello, sounds like a great 👍 idea! Russ

@kennethandrysiak4130 8 ай бұрын

Agreed. But… will never happen in our lifetime or our children’s. The ineptitude of City/County politicians who are only interested in re-election… plus… no real plan in place (downtown South Bend is the only real plan) and, most importantly… no funding… makes the final improvement only a dream.

@ArtStoneUS Ай бұрын

How would that possibly speed up the train? The only possible way is if they had meets were trains passed each other. There just isn't enough demand. The last time I rode it, they dropped most of the cars in Michigan City and only sent two cars on to South Bend.

@@ArtStoneUS There's been many times though I've seen 8 or 10 car trainsets going to the South Bend International Airport. I think the ridership demand to South Bend International Airport will increase over time.
