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:
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
