Seen here passing the large Vulcan Materials facility just north of the IHB / A,T & S, F crosstracks, is a northbound Grand Trunk western Railroad transfer train. The train is traveling over the Indiana Harbor belt Railroad. Back in May of 1990, The Indiana Harbor Belt crossed over and interchanged with the former Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe mainline. In 1995, the Burlington Northern railroad and the Atchinson , Topeka & Santa Fe merged and became todays BNSF Railway. Mc Cook Junction is still a very busy crosstrack interchange today.Thursday, June 28, 2007
