Indiana time.

So today I made my way out to Chesterton, Indiana to try and snag Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited which had Amtrak 145 in the lead and seeing as it's been ages since I last saw that unit, I decided to head out there to snag them, after that I just kinda decided to hang around Chesty for the day, nothing too exciting showed up after the 145, but it was a nice chill day all things considered and sometimes you need that. Enjoy!
