A view of the final quarter mile of Indiana 53. Notice the South Shore train going overhead; after that you have the Toll Road, CSX (originally Baltimore and Ohio), Norfolk Southern (originally New York Central, more recently Penn Central and Conrail) and the Elgin Joliet and Eastern lines before you run into the USX steel plant gate. photo by Chris Marysz; up April 3, 2003 |

Eastbound on the toll road at the Broadway/Indiana 53 exit. Notice the "No Trucks to U S S" notice; the truck entrance to the Gary USX mills is at the Clark Street interchange a mile or so west of this one. photo by Chris Patriarca; up August 24, 2003 |
