An IHB Pair |
| Description: |
Always interesting to see a yard slug approaching with its low profile and its "alien" twin light stem sticking up in front. They were pulling a short string of coil cars east before backing into a slot in the yard just west of the UP mainline. |

| Description: |
Curious looking unit with an "alien" appearance. Definitely showing the wear and tear of yard duties through the years. |

IHB 1523 |
| Description: |
IHB SW1500 1523 is serving as the mother to the "calf" yard slug in front of it. This unit is also showing a lot of wear and rust - not usually typical for IHB. I wonder it its days may be numbered or is it just waiting its turn in the paint shop? |

IHB 57 |
| Description: |
Bringing up the rear of the short string is Indiana Harbor Belt caboose #57. In this instance, it will be acting as a shoving platform when the train reverses direction to back into the yard slot farther west. |

IHB 57 |
| Description: |
The shoving platform (caboose to us older generation) looks well kept . The black lightning stripes are reminiscent of New York Central lightning stripes, acknowledging the historical connection to NYC.. |
