Hoosier State Rail Series: NS and CN Action At Front St. Whiting, ...Strikingly similar to the layout of Pine Junction, the crossing at Front Street provides a sweet railfanning spot. This location is West of Pine Junction and CP502. The lines featured are the NS Chicago Line, a lightly-used B&O-CSXT line, and the CN-EJ&E Lake Front Branch farthest North. BP's Refinery resides to the South and a park sits North of the tracks on the lake. East Chicago's Arcelor Mittal Mill is visible to the East. A neat place where industrial plants, parks, beach houses, and railroads coexist. 2:05PM- BNSF power leads a lengthy container intermodal West. Trains move quite slow through here due to the curves further into town. BNSF C44-9W #4765 NS C40-9W #9187 3:22PM- CN's once-daily Lakefront Transfer returns East to Kirk with GTW GP38-2 #4927. This is one of the few trains that runs on this line. 3:56PM- A Throughbred Stack appears from the East and slows as it approaches town.
