Interurban Line To Be Regraded Between LaPorte and Michigam City
A large force of workers will straighten seven major curves on the Chicago South Bend and Northern Indiana line from LaPorte to Michigam City. The Waterford bridge curve will drop from seven to three degrees, another near LaPorte golf links from twenty to about seven, and the Taylor curve north of Midway from fourteen to seven. The project aims to shorten the route by about two miles and improve grades by lifting or lowering track as needed. Repairs will be made at Englewood wreck shops on Englewood Avenue.
