2.63 min. | 4.90 user rating		 The Story: The story is back in the horse and buggy days, two brothers were out for a ride. One brother fell off and the wheel decapitated him. The light is the lantern of the other brother looking for the head. The brother is with his lantern passing one row at a time in the corn. If you go when the corn is down, you will see a light come towards you. If the corn is up (the best time to go) you see the orange/red glow from the lantern at the end of a row. It will move through the row of corn and you can see the light above the corn. It's slowly moves to the end of the row and back to the start of the row. Then it will move up one more rows. You can watch the light come closer and closer one row at a time. What you are supposed to do is drive down the lane, turn around and drive back down it, turn your car around, park it and flash your lights three times and then shut them off. Then you will see the light cross the road.

Corn is a mega-crop and a bad year drives up the price everything from beef to cereal and auto fuel. As crops continue to wilt and falter, farmers and consumers across the globe are hoping for more rain, despite forecasts of dry days ahead. Al Jazeera's John Hendren reports from Rensselaer, Indiana.

This is just such an animal -- and may be the one and only time that a Combine Derby will ever be considered romantic!

The matchup all of Northwest Indiana wanted to see......and the stakes couldn't be higher....the 2A sectional 25 championship game featured the high scoring Wheeler Bearcats and the defending champion Rensselaer Central Bombers.....Rensselaer would shut out the Bearcats 28-0, and win their 3rd consecutive sectional championship!

4.17 min. | 5.0 user rating		 Rensselaer, Indiana is the setting for our video of Amtrak's "Hoosier State". The Hoosier State is an off-day compliment to the tri-weekly "Cardinal" long-distance train, however the Hoosier State only runs from Chicago to Indianapolis and return. It often doubles as a 'hospital train' for Amtrak, meaning it is used to ferry equipment to and from Amtrak's Beech Grove Shops just outside Indianapolis. Today a Superliner and baggage car are along for the ride. This is on the former Monon Railroad mainline. Rensselaer is 75 miles east of Chicago, and it is the second stop out of the Second City, after Dyer, Indiana, which is on the border with Illinois. 27 miles west of Rensselaer, this train lost a lot of time due to CSX signal problems. This will be evident if you watch the video from start to finish. 14 July 2010, Lackawanna Limited video, licensing with permission
