The railroad junction at Logansport, Indiana has been very underrated in recent years. Both Norfolk Southern and Genesee & Wyoming provide plenty of interesting movements. The G&W operates the former PRR Panhandle Line from Kenneth to Kokomo. Norfolk Southern operates the former Wabash Railroad that crosses the Wabash river and swings through a hairpin turn to cross the G&W diamond. Located on a riverbend on the Wabash River, this junction is known as Elm Street Interlocking. A river island, known as Biddle Island, lies in the middle of the river, and provides unique photo opportunities.
Here
a long eastbound Norfolk Southern freight train is running with three
locomotives operating "elephant style." This means that all the locos
are facing forward. This origin of this railroad term derides from
elephants holding the tail of the elephant in front of them as they walk
in a row.
