Want to see Indiana Photos?
Morning walk in my neighborhood.
Not many trains pass through here, but I still don't walk on the tracks.
Around 1900 natural gas was discovered near Portland, Indiana. The northeast side of the state saw growth centered around this new energy resource. The Indiana state government offered free gas (to run machinery and other things) to factories that would build in these areas. Natural gas allowed for the production of glass products.
Today these tracks run to the new ethanol plant here in Portland.
