In this before and after we're looking northeast down the Penn Central Eel River line at South Whitley Indiana. The first photo was taken by Craig Berndt in the early 70's with the tower still in place. The current photo was taken by me on 4/26/2020 with the Eel River line completely gone. The line in the foreground is the Norfolk Southern Chicago District and is still active with regular service. |

Still plenty of trains till this day! |
This is the feed mill in the background of the posted photos. So Craig was looking northeast.
If I turn about 180 degrees, I see the old feed mill is closed because it has been replaced by a much larger mill. Note the siding and fall protector on the right side. It appears that it gets carload rail service from the Class I railroad NS.
