| Ken Durkel posted CF&E FWCH passing the historic 110 year old Pennsy Depot in Hobart, Indiana. Now used by Hobart Chamber of Commerce, the building was deeded to Hobart by Conrail in the 1980s and restored inside and out. The depot is on the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places. Picture taken April 05, 2021. Mike Stockdale: Those tracks were pulled up at one time . I think around 1997? Mark Egebrecht: Mike Stockdale The track was out of service from 1991 to 1994, when NS reactivated it up the depot. The rest to Tolleston was reactivated in 1999. |
Ken Durkel posted two photos with the comment: "A before and after along today's CF&E ex PRR Ft. Wayne Line in Hobart, Indiana. 1st picture shows the brickyards that lined both sides of the PRR mains, probably taken around 100 years ago. 2nd photo taken August 18, 2021 at the same spot. The last of the brickyards in Hobart closed in 1966."
Thomas Boswell: That's why they are the "Hobart Brickies".
