I have a question about Cavanaugh Junction. Where the heck is it? Is it in Gary? I am heading to some of the least explored places (via YouTube) inside of Gary's city limits and do some low key video documentation. It's about the trains of course but it's also about the land. I am aware of the RR police and their jobs, I respect that but I am also hardheaded

I also am requesting information about two train bridges that traverse the Grand Calumet River on Gary's Northwest side. I know that the route used to be a part of the old PRR line. I reckon that it is now owned by CSX and leased by NS to serve Indiana Sugars on Gary's East side. The two bridges in question can be seen directly North of the I-90 Toll Rd @ MP 12 if you are headed West. The area can be accessed via 5th Avenue by an unambiguous gravel pathway, in the area where the old Amtrak stop used to be. It is this pathway that crews used to get heavy equipment though the area when I-90 was being remodeled. It can also be accessed via N. Clark Rd if you are willing to walk a mile or so through swamp land and can deal with the local potential wild life. You might be able to actually drive to the spot from N. Clark Rd but I wouldn't recommend trying that. If you run into any problems (flat tires, bucks, stray dog packs etc) you are far from any type of help. I've seen RR crews drive to this place from N. Clark Rd a few dozen times down the gravel road and the tracks themselves. I've provided a few older photos and a map to aid with location.
Thanks,
Gary Indiana Railfan
