ART MUSEUM OF GREATER LAFAYETTE

LAFAYETTE, IN

This Vexes Me Just west of Otterbein, IN is a small grain elevator at Foresman, though it is no longer rail served as evidenced by the cut switch. This portion of the New York Central was dually operated - and I think even dually owned - by the NYC and the Nickel Plate Road. Not much remains as evidence towards either one, mostly just junk is strewn around. We're nearing the end of the eastbound run of the KBS for the day, though even then we won't be done quite yet. It's quite a leisurely chase, which is a nice change of pace!

Turning Through Templeton The KBS railroad is interesting for many reasons, but one of which is its trackage. I touched on it previously, but the railroad is formed like a triangle with tracks from the New York Central, Nickel Plate Road, and Milwaukee Road. Each of them is pretty straight, with little in the way of curvature - typical of midwestern rail lines - but curves can most certainly still be found. At Templeton, Indiana, the former New York Central merges with the former Nickel Plate Road. From here onwards to Lafayette, the tracks were actually shared by both the NYC and NKP. Little remains that would identify either long-dead company, but the tracks are still used by the KBS today. Templeton itself is rather small, hosting a few blocks worth of homes as well as one rail-serviceable industry. I'm not sure what that industry is nor if it is even still rail served, but the tracks are there anyways. KBS701 and 702 lead our train on the ex-NYC curve onto the final stretch towards Lafayette. Clouds had been troublesome for the previous few shots, but Templeton was thankfully sunny enough for a good photo. Always nice to get a curve shot!
