Joliet Line
The Joliet Line, diverging from the main line at Porter, Indiana and running through Dyer and Chicago Heights to Joliet, is now a lightly used line owned by Norfolk Southern Railway. Its termination points are now west of Griffith, Indiana north of the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway main tracks and at State Street in Chicago Heights, between the Union Pacific yard and the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern Railway main tracks.
The section between Western Avenue in Park Forest and Park Road in Joliet Township is now the Old Plank Trail, and the section in Lake Station, Indiana between Fayette Street and Grand Boulevard is now the Fairview Walkway.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists. The strands are all there: to the memory nothing is ever really lost.”
—Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
