The Fort Wayne Railfan

Caught this for the first time on 12/19/21 headed east on the NS Chicago Line leading CP650

While you can find plenty of pictures of the Erie Lackawanna yard at Huntington Indiana, a far lesser photographed spot was at Gragg Road on the northwest side of town. Dave Augsburger took the before shot of an eastbound freight in 1968 approaching the crossing and in the distance in the highway 24...

Another shot of the former Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad with this one being at Avilla Indiana. Craig Berndt took this shot looking north on the line now owned by Conrail on November 10th, 1979. The track in the foreground was the B&O and was single track at the time. I took the current shot on ...

I believe there's at least one daily train through here. From what I've seen lately, there's an every Saturday westbound out of Fort Wayne in the morning.

I got this shot of a westbound CF&E train a couple weeks ago about to go under the King Street overpass. It makes for a nice shot and I'm surprised I haven't seen any other shots from this spot.

I've called her several times and she's always been friendly.

This spot is located at CR 350 W a couple miles west of Albion Indiana on the CSX Garrett Sub. You can get great shots from both directions here and there's spots to pull over on both sided of the road.

A before and after at Decatur along the Erie Lackawanna. John Fuller took the first photo in the early 70's and I took the after shot in 2016 of the tracks gone but the tower base still standing. I was told recently that the tower base no longer stands.

I went to the yard at New Haven with my brother in law to do some railfanning and saw the southern heritage unit going eastbound this past Saturday.

I asked this question on a forum years ago and the answer I got is that they generally went 30 mph in most areas with the capability to go faster but didn't to lessen wear on the track.

Thank you for posting these!!

Great pics!! This is the first time I've seen a right of way pic from the u.s. 6 crossing.

Matt from Kendallville. Interested in anything in NE Indiana, NW Ohio and the Erie Lackawanna

Permit new members, update the list of locations and add locations,have a list of train symbols in the area, a before and after photo section of rail lines, fix broken links, update news on a regular basis. I guess pretty much everything lol.

I think while sites like Facebook do hurt sites like this, most pages aren't area specific like this one.They're either railroad specific or cover the whole state instead of more locally like this one. I think if regular updates were made it would draw in a lot of people who may have left over the y...
