Kokomo, Indiana is a very industrial town, and all the railroad trackage is operated by the Central Railroad of Indianapolis (CERA). The three lines that cross are the PRR Panhandle Line, which ends on the south side of town, the N&W "Cloverleaf" route, and the N&W IMC (Indianapolis-Michigan City) line. Our first scene shows high-nose GP30 #2252 heading north on the PRR with four gondola cars of scrap. He then switches onto the Cloverleaf and backs the train down to the scrapyard. All of the diamonds are still in place in this town. We then look at the junction of the IMC and Cloverleaf lines, and you will note an odd signal guarding the crossing. The Kokomo depot is on the IMC line south of the diamond, and we look at the interesting display of motive power. Note the various N&W/NS high-hood GP30's, and the GP9 #1754, which is owned by Winamac Southern. The 2252 soon returns light, running westbound on the Cloverleaf and crossing the IMC line. He stops so the engineer can throw the switch. Then the engineer SLOWLY crosses the main street and rattles the residential area with the bleating horn.
