This is a forlorn walkthrough of the railroad interlocking at Walkerton, Indiana. At one time, this was a triangle of diamonds-the NYC Kankakee Belt Line, B&O Garrett Sub, and NKP IMC Line all crossed here. KN tower was located in the middle of the triangle, and was reduced from three stories to two. The NYC became PC and then Conrail; it was finally torn up in 1983. The tower was used by CSX until at least the late 1990's, although I do not know when it was decommissioned. It was not listed as an open office in the CSX timetable as of 4/1/89. Over the years the tower has deteriorated; note the boarded up windows, missing bricks, chucks taken out of the roof's edge, and of course, the broken glass. The faded CSX logo is a foreshadowing of what is to come; the wrecking ball.

The Ex-NKP IMC Line is now operated as the Elkhart & Western; they rarely come this far north. The line ends at the Indiana 104 crossing about a mile north of here. The short line store tank cars in the woods north of the junction. The IMC Line is so-named because it was ran from Indianapolis to Michigan City. Note the electric derails north and south of the diamonds. The northbound home signal was replaced with a color-light signal a year prior to this visit. CSX's double-track ex-B&O mainline remains busy to this day. A section camp is located south of the tracks. For a 1998 View of this location, click here!
