South Shore Line at Dune Park, IN. Bonus clip of South Shore Line at Michigan City, IN

Chicagoland Railfanning Episode 5
Cabcar82productions and I took a quick trek out to Dune Park, IN. The point of interest in Dune Park to many is the national park that lies there, Indiana Dunes National Park. However I was there for an entirely different reason, that reason being a train station within the National Park. The station is apart of the expansive network throughout north Indiana and Chicago known as the South Shore Line which is the oldest and one of the last surviving examples of interurban service in the United States. The Japanese built cars are also a note of interest not just for their foreign style being suited in the US but rather how they sport the gong bell, a mechanical bell type that never caught on as much as the conventional North American mechanical bell did.
The bonus clip seen was taken from the car in Michigan City, IN. This catch was at random chance and I thought it would be cool to include. One important thing to note is what's seen in that clip is the newly built double main that used to be a single track street running section, what was once the most iconic stretch of track on the South Shore Line.
Enjoy the video!
