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:
“In order to get to East Russet you take the Vermont Central as far as Twitchell’s Falls and change there for Torpid River Junction, where a spur line takes you right into Gormley. At Gormley you are met by a buckboard which takes you back to Torpid River Junction again.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
