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!

It succeeded Indiana Hi-Rail, who had entered bankruptcy. They run from Woodburn, Indiana to Liberty Center, Ohio, serving several customers, and interchanging with NS at Woodburn and CSX at Defiance, Ohio. Between Liberty Center and Colton, Ohio, the line has been removed. Here a battered GP35 still in tattered Conrail paint, leaves the small yard in Defiance with a cut of a cars. After making a safety stop at the grade crossing, he pushes the two covered hoppers and tank car along the interchange track with the CSX ex-B&O Willard Sub. He then returns light to the yard. Note the new tri-light signal bridge on the B&O. In recent years, the MAW has become notorious for the horrid condition of its trackage. In late 2012, Pioneer Railcorp purchase the property, and received a grant to rehab the roadbed to at least make it passable. =============================================================================== 💳Sandisk 128GB Memory card! https://geni.us/Sandisk128gb 📸Sony Alpha Mirrorless Camera! https://geni.us/Alpha6000bundle 🔋 Battery Charger! https://geni.us/alphacharger 👨🏻‍💻Video-Editing Software! https://geni.us/Powerdirector19 Mini Tripod for Phone! https://geni.us/webcamtripod 📶Smart Phone Stabilizer! https://geni.us/PhoneStabilizer Mini Tripod! https://geni.us/Minitripod ============================================================================= #TWISTEDRAILROADRAILS #NAPOLEANDEFIANCE&WESTERNRAILROAD #BADRAILROADTRACKS #DANGEROUSRAILROADTRACKS Napolean Defiance & Western Railroad Pioneer Railcorp Worst Railroad Tracks in the world TRain rocks and sways #TRAINALMOSTDERAILS

📹 Affordable Sony Camcorder! https://geni.us/RTQF ============================================================================= Here is a brief tour of the Maumee & Western Railroad at Liberty Center, Ohio. This is a former Wabash line that once connected Fort Wayne, Indiana with Toledo. It was leased to Indiana Hi-Rail Corp in 1989 after the 10-mile segment from Liberty Center to Maumee was removed. Indiana H-Rail went backrupt in 1996, and Maumee & Western assumed operations in 1997. Note the poor condition of the 80-lb rail. The line ends just on the east end of town, and is the Wabash Cannonball Trail to Maumee, where the tracks pick up again.

At Walkerton, Indiana, an eastbound CSX empty Coke Express train led by a BNSF GEVO and a CSX C40-8W, clatters across the diamonds with the Elkhart & Western IMC line. Just a few feet to my right was where the former NYC Kankakee Belt crossed. There was a triangle of diamonds around the tower at one time. The NYC was abandoned by Conrail in 1983.
