This line was downgraded during 1986-87 from double track to single track. The Broadway Limited remained on this line until 11 November 1991 before heading to ex-NYC trackage to the north. Interestingly, both NS and CSX have enjoyed a slight surge of traffic on the line with the elevator at Hamlet busy enough to warrant a [temporary] engine and the steel fabricating plant just west of Valpo has seen a surge in carloads. Hopefully, this will be one line in the Hoosier state that can be saved in a state savaged by the PennCentral and EL failures!
