Lydick, Indiana

[2] There remains an abutment of the St Joseph, South Bend & Southern which was part of the Michigan Central Railroad.

A bridge formerly was there, which was built in 1910 which was part of the trackage elevation project by the St. Joseph South Bend & Southern Railroad (SJSB&S), but was dismantled in 1943 about immediately after Michigan Central abandoned its line there within a year.

The SJSB&S connected St. Joseph to South Bend of a branch from New York Central's Water Level Route (now under the control of Norfolk Southern since 1999) The Michiana Pallet Recycle Company is a place where people recycle pallets.

It is located on Quince Road, between the Norfolk Southern and South Shore Line tracks which serve and run past Lydick as a train-horn area.

There is talks ongoing to convert this town into a quiet zone, but such acceptance would be required by both the South Bend government and Federal Railroad Administration.
