Northwest Indiana Railfanning, Late June/Early July 2013

[@KatoOnTheTrack1]

I previously thought NY and surrounding areas had the most fascinating rail structure, then I became an adult and moved to the midwest

Those Siemens trains are going to be great to see on the NEC, and they look much better than the toasters run now-a-days! Great Shot!

[@Steven_Williams]

Wow! I just rolling through these areas Sunday via The Chicago Skyway on my way to the outlet mall in Michigan City then by Rt.12 on my way back to "the Chi". Thanks for sharing.

That's an SD20, which is an SD18 rebuilt by the Illinois Central; later purchased by the Indiana Harbor Belt.

Thanks, glad you liked. Maybe next time you go to the outlet mall, you could take the South Shore to Michigan City 11th St!

[@Nachtwolf1]

Yes, the gondolas (sometimes flatcars or bulkhead flats) are used as "spacer" cars, for safety purposes, given the extreme temperature of the molten metal in the "bottle" cars.
