MICHIGAN CITY, INDIANA - 08 AUG 2021

It's a gorgeous Sunday afternoon in Michigan City, where we find plenty of passenger and freight on the South Shore Line in just a short period of time. Our first train is a westbound passenger under the wire, followed by Amtrak's 365 rumbling over the South Shore at the 10th Street Interlocking. Then, a westbound South Shore freight makes way for Bailly, and he is shortly upon us at 10th Street. Afterwards, we catch back up to him at Tamarack for the meet with another passenger train, before we catch them one last time rolling by the station at Dune Park.

This is just the first of many South Shore Line videos upcoming - we'll be documenting the railroad's transformation through both the Double Track and West Lake Corridor Projects. Stay tuned!
