Ken Durkel posted Elkhart & Western R203 heads north across the CF&E in Plymouth, Indiana as the old Pennsy "red snake eyes" protect the crossing on a hot hazy morning. September 22, 2017. |
These are notes I am writing to help me learn our industrial history. They are my best understanding, but that does not mean they are a correct understanding.

Plymouth, IN: Junction: CF&E/Pennsy vs. Elkhart & Western/NS/NKP(LE&W)
(Satellite) CF&E = Chicago, Fort Wayne, & Eastern
Ken also noticed the red snake eyes. Amtrak does not use the CF&E. I wonder if it carries hazardous materials. Or, if it does carry hazardous materials, do they travel slow enough that this route does not have to be upgraded to PTC? If it does not need to upgrade to PTC, then maybe these Pennsy position signals will live on.
