Proposed Signals and Track Layout at Gary Metro Center |
| There are no immediate plans to upgrade the station at Gary Metro Center, however several proposals have been put forth
to rebuild the station at the current location or build a new station at a new location. The proposal below shows a potential
track setup at the current location adding gauntlet tracks and a high central platform. On gauntlets the platform track is the
non-diverging route and the diverging route has additional clearance from the platform. In the proposal below the add track is
moved further east of the station but remains part of the control point. The storage track west of the station remains outside
of the control point. To control the new gauntlet the CP can be extended by moving the eastbound signals to the west of the gauntlet before the platform. The westbound signals are moved as needed to east of the gauntlet. The potential signal aspects are shown below. The plan presented on this page is not an official plan from NICTD and due to the double track project is unlikely to be built. The double track project features a new station at Miller with two storage tracks, high level platforms and large commuter parking lots. This eliminates the need for the add track at Gary Metro and any rebuild would likely include the removal of the add track and the installation of normal gauntlet signalling.
