Viewing Album:  "Threading the Needle" - Amtrak through NW Indiana
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:8/11/2011 - 8/11/2011
Album Info:Caught this eastbound Amtrak (think it was the Wolverine) sliding past the traffic at Indiana Harbor CP-502. To its right is a BNSF mixed freight train. To its left, the ArcelorMittal GMTX 109 had just moved some inplant slabs of steel on flatcars. Just a little farther east to its left and out of sight sat an NS hot metal train waiting for a clear signal to proceed across the NS tracks south. Definitely one congested spot! Only had time to catch a couple pics as it slid through the "eye of the needle"!
