I found the attached photo on the Internet recently. It shows the many passenger trains that assembled at Louisville Union Station during 1955 Kentucky Derby weekend. It's likely that at least one of the trains came from and through Indiana.

Interesting picture George, but I doubt the 1955 date. Every car in that photo has a clerestory roof, and by 1955 the clerestory roofs were pretty much a thing of the past. / Ron

Looks more like 1925.

That would have been my guess too Bob, the 1925-1930 era. / Ron
