Yesterday, December 4 2004, I explored Hammond Indiana. Here is what I saw. Homan Ave. 11:34 IHB #8834 Autos West 12:06 BNSF #796 Stacks Southeast 12:10 NS #4630 Boxcar Northwest 12:16 IHB #2925 Manifest East 12:21 IHB #4018 Autos West CP State Line 13:09 NS#9705 BNSF#8042 Manifest South CSX Tracks South of the South Shore Stop at Hammond 13:40 CSX #? UP#1948 Manifest West 14:39 CSX #? Leased#9079 Manifest West These are trains that I took pictures of. At Homan Ave. Crossing there was a UP Auto rack train heading east around 12:01. At The CSX tracks there were three eastbound trains, Two CSX and one CP train, between the two westbounds. I shouldve left Hammond at 14:20 on the South Shore, but I see that the South Shore is a regional version of Amtrak. It came at 14:50. When I write down the information I usually do not include the lead units number, becuase It will usually show up in the photo. I must have been feeling weird. I wish someone wouldve told me that Stateline and Homan Ave. were very close to each other and the South Shore stop. The Chicago Rail Junction Site Editor did tell me, but I recieved the E-mail late. If anyone is looking for great railroading action, Hammond is the place to go. It is one of my favorite areas now. When I went to Rochelle two weeks ago there was a NS engine on a BNSF transfer. I notice that even at LaGrange there is a lot of foreign power on any BNSF train that is not a Piggyback or Doublestack train. I might also add that I have seen... BNSF #6123 (SD9) at Joliet on a Doublestack train Lots and lots of 400 series geeps on the Iowa Interstae
