GTW Steam Excursion Meet Valparaiso IN May 1968

            Some of my earliest photos taken with my then brand new Kodak Hawkeye Instamatic camera. I cleaned them up as best as possible with Photoshop.

I recall taking a train excursion in 1968 at age 8 with my father and younger brother to South Bend and back from Chicago. 

Doing some digging this excursion apparently took place in May of 1968 from Dearborn State to South Bend and back with the steam engine turned on a wye at South Bend for the trip back. I remember playing outside the South Bend depot waiting to go back. Apparently the meet took place going eastbound at Valparaiso. 

The Grand Trunk Western line today is freight only and a busy mainline for Canadian National.
