Gary Everhart	General	The station is still standing and in pretty good shape but it's future is dim. CN announced last summer its intention to tear it down and so far no buyer has stepped forward. Shame to lose this one!	8/5/2013 9:32:56 AM

Robert Hawkins	General	Chuck, how did you get down so fast to the station for this photo after taking the photo at the Campbell St. bridge? You must of drove like a madman down Evans Ave.	1/7/2015 1:08:47 PM

Chuck Zeiler	General	Well, it's not something I am proud of, but sometimes I did fracture the local speed laws a bit to get the photo. Generally, I was not alone. I recall chasing CB&Q fan trips and being in the left lane of a two-lane highway in excess of 85 mph, passing a bunch of railfans in the right lane observing the speed limit. And I was not alone in the left lane either. The thinking was that the cops couldn't catch all of us, so the trick was not to be the last car in the group. I was a punk teenager and even today I'm amazed that I'm alive to tell the tale.	1/7/2015 1:52:07 PM

Wayne Hudak	General	The former GTW Valparaiso IN station has been saved and moved a short distance away, to be used as part of a school.	3/29/2016 7:28:46 PM
