Griffith, Indiana, located near the Chicago suburbs, was once one of the largest railroad interlockings in the world. At one time, FIVE railroads lines intersected here. The Grand Trunk Western came in from the west and crossed the Elgin Joliet & Eastern, and NYC Joliet Branch. The EJ&E had a branch line heading east from here to Porter, Indiana. The Erie Lackawanna and C&O formed a joint line south of the junction, and crossed the other three. Some of the diamonds were actually IN Broad Street!

The NYC was abandoned in 1976, the C&O in 1983 and the EL in 1981. The EJ&E Porter Branch followed in 1985. The tower was closed in December, 1999, and efforts were being made to preserve it, (note the banner). They were successful, and the tower was moved to the north side of the tracks where the small railway museum is located. A piece of the EL remains to the north, and a piece of the C&O remains to the south to serve a chemical plant. Now the GTW and EJ&E are the only two main lines that cross. Griffith is still a busy place, but is not the amazing gaggle of tracks it once was.
