The Erie main line still exists from North Judson to Monterrey, about 14 miles. It is the only Indiana trackage still in operation, and is run by a short line operator who brings grain cars from an elevator in Monterrey to a CSX connection at North Judson. The connection is near the Hoosier Valley Rail Museum in North Judson. A small portion of the Wabash line still exists south and west of South Bend. Another small segment still exists from its western terminus at Clarke Junction to an industry on the east side of Gary. The latter segment is still operated by Norfolk Southern. The line was abandoned in favor of routing trains over NS's ex-NKP line from Ft. Wayne to Chicago. Since the Conrail merger, NS can also get freight from Detroit to Chicago using the ex-MC line east to Kzoo, then south to Elkhart and then east over the ex-NYC main. There is little need for the Wabash line as it never had a lot of on-line industry anyway.
