Viewing Album:  CSS Wire Replacement Michigan City - Followup
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:8/4/2011 - 8/4/2011
Album Info:A few days after the historic wire replacement through Michigan City, I went back to take some follow up pics of the finished wire installation and to see the wire in action. Included at the end of the album is the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District (NICTD) pamphlet explaining Phase 2 of the overhead wire replacement project. Interesting reading!
