Return to Indiana Northeastern RR Index
A group of railfans and railroaders including several Canadians chartered Dave's caboose for a tour of Indiana Northeastern Railroad. It turned out the railroad had a freight train that had outlawed south of Pleasant Lake the day before, so in addition to a locomotive and caboose, the visitors had a bonus, twenty-odd cars of freight with some switching and set-outs en route.

Lunch stop at Reading, Michigan
Rays Restaurant (sign partly obscured by trees) is renowned throughout the area for generous portions of good food
I'd like to see some old-school "railroad bulls" with instructions to "do whatever it takes" to eliminate tagging.
