The Midland sub is an interesting piece of trackage. It layed long dormant in the woods of long spoiled coal land, rails with old trees growing between them, after Peabody shut down operations. Found and purchased by the INRD it was rehabilitated to permit easier connection to the CP. It still serves that purpose in that it connects the two halves of the INRD, the Indianapolis and Chicago subs.
Starting at the large wye at dugger this short and important Subdivision of the INRD winds thru remote and often hard to access wasted coal lands, There are no spectacular bridges or structures. However remains of Peabody’s interesting crossing protection can be found. In a couple places the unique lights still work. The line ends near Midland IN, where a double connection to the Chicago Sub can be found.
Many more pictures and descriptions of the connections can be found on other guide pages
