No kidding. Check out the rustbuckets in nearby downtown Sandborn also.
And of course, no bells either.

I saw those too.

According to the FRA, this line was Conrail in the 70's and 80's, and is now Indiana Southern. It's been listed at '0' trains for quite some time. I think it runs to a gravel quarry, so it proabably gets occasional traffic.

The post is pretty old for sure... but I do believe those are Rich's favorite type of lights on there (GRS plastic lights).

I wondered about those lights; they do look like GRS plastics. They look about 4/5th's size though.
