Now the Panhandle ran through Dolton(there was a small yard there) then the Bernice Cutoff<connection with SC&S-The South Chicago and Southern> and then, Lansing in Illinois before crossing over into Indiana where it first encountered Munster(the crossing was called Maynard) where it crossed the Monon and GTW. Next up was Schererville(Hartsdale) where The Panhandle crossed both Michigan Central Kankakee line and the Elgin, Joilet and Eastern at grade. It also ducked under the NYC Danville(IL) branch here. There was a small interchange yard located to the east of the main line between Junction Ave and Kennedy Ave. it ran SE to NW. Might have been 10 tracks wide. It is still there but reduced to 4-5 tracks that are used mainly to load coated pipe from Midwest Pipe Coating. At one time this was a busy place. After here it was mainly nothing else until Crown Point. From there it was Leroy, then Hebron, IN. Again a long strech before North Judson,IN where interchange was made with C&O of I and also Erie. thence on the Logansport. After that I am not sure. I hope this helps. I think that The Panhandle Chicago Terminal was PRR 59th Street.
