Niles, Michigan is just a short distance north of the Northern Indiana border. The AMTRAK train involved was likely either The Capitol Limited from Washington, D.C. or the Lake Shore Limited out of Penn Station in New York City.

Usually very full trains.

Neither the Capitol Limited nor the Lake Shore Limited duck into Michigan. This was a Wolverine train out of Chicago to Detroit-Pontiac.
