We are back in Griffith, Indiana for the first time in 11 years. This junction was once one of the most complex in the world-FIVE railroads once intersected here! The EL-C&O joint line came in from the southeast and crossed the EJ&E and GTW mains. An NYC branch from Joliet paralleled the "J" and crossed everything as well. The "J" also had a branch to Porter, which headed straight east. The Porter branch was abandoned in 1985, and the EL was taken up in 1981, although a spur track remained to the north, which has since been severed. The C&O remains to the southeast to serve American Chemical. The NYC was closed on Conrail day, and torn up in 1978. Here a westbound CN freight swings off the GTW main and enters the EJ&E via the southeast connector. Power are two rare units-an EMD SD75I and an SD70I. Compare this video to the one I shot in 2000. ▶️
