Two car westbound train I shot south of Hesston, Indiana (I was headed to the steam show there) in October of 1982.

Very scenic. Has the area all been redeveloped by now?

Don't know if the area has been developed/built up.I haven't been up there since I shot the photo. I suspect not much has changed. You will note a high voltage power line running along the right of way. People are reluctant to build near those. Also, in the early 1990's, land in Michigan, just a few miles north, suddenly became desirable due to the cuts in property taxes. So, much of the potential developmment in the area suddenly had competition from properties in Michigan. Finally, in the mid 1990's, lots of auto parts suppliers build plants and engineering centers in towns along Lake Michigan, just 15-35 miles to the west and northwest. There has been a big boom in building near the lake in the last 10 years.
