It looks a lot better kept than Gary.

American Ruins: Gary's Once and Future Terminal.
Posted by wallyworld on Tuesday, February 6, 2007 7:28 AM

This is a photograph of the remains of Gary Indiana's NYC terminal. I wonder if any of you know whether this is still standing. It is basically an open ruin that was abandoned about 50 years ago. Despite being listed as a historically significant station, it is slowly weathering away in the elements. My understanding is that proposals have come and gone for restoration. I discovered this station on the Lost Indiana website some time ago, and have not been able to stave off my curiousity as to it's fate.  

 

Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.
