City by the Lake.org, The Voice of Michigan City, Indiana _ City Talk _ South Shore Coal Freight Train Derailment Cleanup?

Posted by: taxthedeer Feb 10 2015, 01:52 PM

Rode the train to a sporting event in Chicago last night. I was really surprised that the cars from the December 19th derailment on the westside have not been removed and are still just laying there on their sides next to the track. Why hasen't this site been cleaned up yet?

I wonder the same thing every time I drive by there... quickly followed by wondering when they are going to figure out a way open up Mt Baldy again.

Rode the train again to Chicago to attend another sporting event.

Looks like crews are beginning to clean up the site.

What they really could used out there is Robosaurus:
