The Chesapeake and Indiana Railroad (AAR reporting marks CKIN) is a Class III short-line railroad operating 33 miles of rail line in northwestern Indiana. From the city of La Crosse, lines run northwest to the Porter County town of Malden, southeast to the Starke County towns of English Lake and North Judson, and northeast through La Porte County past Thomaston and Hanna to Wellsboro.
The Chesapeake and Indiana is mostly used for transporting grain from rural elevators to the mainline railroad systems. Rail tours are also held on the C&I line, starting in North Judson and continuing to either English Lake or LaCrosse.
