Viewing Album:  CN Pipe Train, Griffith, IN
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:7/10/2012 - 7/10/2012
Album Info:Much to my surprise, an eastbound Canadian National train looking at first like a mixed freight turns out to be primarily a pipe train with over 20 loaded flatcars. The train took the turnout from the former Elgin Joliet & Eastern Rwy to the CN mainline in downtown Griffith, so I got a good look at the pipe loads which look like they came from the local Midwest Pipe and Rebar Company.
