(Michigan City, Indiana) I confess to being a train spotter. If I hear or see an approaching train, I will turn around and go back to watch it pass. I look up from whatever we are praying at church to watch Amtrak’s Pere Marquette roll on down the line to Chicago on Sunday mornings, and when I am in Chicago, I gravitate to the famous Loop elevated tracks. Here are a few of the trains I spotted the other day while on my way to spot the Chicago Symphony Orchestra:
South Shore Freight is ready to go to work at Shops.
South Shore Train 606 finishes a morning run into Chicago on a sunny Sunday. The train is leaving the Museum Campus/11th Street stop and heading for Van Buren.
A CTA train runs north on Wabash on the eastern leg of the famous Loop.
South Shore Train 509 is ready for the run from Carroll Avenue to South Bend Airport.
Nice train spots/shots.
I’ll get an even better shot on April 1 when I ride the train to opening day!
