Classic NKP HOME SIGNAL at Walkerton, Indiana
The New York Chicago & St. Louis Raiload, (nicknamed The Nickel Plate), once operated the Indianapolis to Michigan railroad line that passes through Walkerton, Indiana. The distinctive Nickel Plate Railroad block signal that guards the diamond with CSX's Garret Sub still stands, although its days are numbered. The Nickel Plate Railroad was merged into the Norfolk & Western Railroad on October 16, 1964. These photos were taken on May 23, 2023.
