Sort of a new rail. The old New York Central from South Bend, IN to Streator, IL. During the 50's Railroad Magazine had thought the NYC would double track that route in favor of the direct to Chicago. It saved 1 1/2 days getting a train from the Santa Fe to Elkhart, IN. I KNOW they can use that relief. Unfortunately, if they did, our museum in North Judson could have a problem. The engine terminal in right on the old right of way. In Knox, the post office sits on it. Almost all the grade is still in, just some problems in the towns. If you need rails east, the Pennsylvania is still in place through Indiana. When NS ran it, they found that even though it is dark territory and 40 MPH, trains from Ft. Wayne to Chicago beat the Nickle Plate route between the same points. The Nickle Plate is carded at 60 MPH, but runs south, then back north to meet up the the Pennsylvania in Valparaiso.
