Over the course of this year's spring and summer, I made numerous visits to Indiana for railfanning. Whether it was just because I was passing through between home in Illinois and school in Pennsylvania, or specifically to see a train my friends and I wanted to see, I captured plenty of trains in Western Indiana and adjoining areas such as Western Michigan and Eastern Illinois! In this video you will see clips of CSX, Norfolk Southern, Chicago South Shore & South Bend, Indiana Railroad, Chicago, Fort Wayne & Eastern, and Toledo Peoria & Western operations! From geeps leading mainline freights to office car specials, there's plenty to see here so please enjoy!
