Viewing Album:  Shunting at IHB Michigan Ave Yard
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:1/27/2012 - 1/27/2012
Album Info:While at one of my favorite trainspotting haunts (Indiana Harbor Belt Michigan Avenue Yard), I caught the routine shunting of a cut of cars. Normally the cut rolls deep into the yard before hooking up with the line being built but this time it was the last three cars to be added and near my Michigan Avenue vantage point.
