    The cross track was main line Chicago - Cleveland of the NKP . You are looking north and the left track is B4 main . The right track is siding and was cut off about about 2 car lengths north of diamond and the same south of diamond . The NKP would come flying into the siding west of the diamond and we could not tall if they were going in until they started slowing down . Today NS has a CP point here and handles NS trains from Ft. Wayne
    to Elkhart . LEW

    Just did A google maps aerial view. Looks to be an interesting site. There is also a large plant west of town, looks to be ethanol.
