DanielB Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) Random trivia, but Colorado State University featured - though with name changed - in the video game The Last of Us, and will likely feature in the HBO television adaption which is currently in production. Like I said; 'random' trivia. Edited August 5, 2020 by DanielB 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johann Marsbar Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) South Shore Line street running in Michigan City, IN, should be eliminated sometime next year.... https://www.doubletrack-nwi.com/ I think the original plan was to put in a by-pass line avoiding the central area, but this seems to have been simplified to shifting the tracks to just off the south side of the road in 10th Street and taking over the entire westbound part of the road in 11th Street (which for road traffic would become an eastbound one way street!) There is a reasonable space at the side of 10th street to relocate the tracks, though it will be fairly close to houses on part of it, though I suppose they may narrow the roadway a bit as well. Will go where the wooden poles are on the left of this photo.... Though houses are present looking the other way....... EDIT: Looking at the maps on that website in detail, it would appear that all of the properties on the right of the last photo are actually going to be demolished to make room for the tracks!!!

It's strange to think that the US once had extensive networks of electric interurban lines, which these days would be seen as quite modern and eco friendly, but hardly any of these original ones remains. The Pacific Electric alone ran over about 1000 miles of track. All killed off by the rise of the private auto and freeway building..
