The first railroad to go through South Bend was a line from Toledo to Chicago completed in 1851. I think that line became part of the New York Central. The Grand Trunk Western built through South Bend around 1880. The Grand Trunk shared trackage with the New York Central for about a mile and a half in South Bend, Indiana. |

On September 2, 1983 Grand Trunk Western engines 5804, 5821, and 4134 sashay through the interlocking plant by the South Bend Tower. A crazy lost railfan is trying to get ahead of the train using the access road over on the left and kicking up a lot of dust. |

Just east of the tower is South Bend Union Station. It opened in 1929 and served passenger trains of both the New York Central and Grand Trunk Western railroads. Disk 114 |
