[Magdalen] Waiting for the train

I went to see my son and his family earlier this week.  Rather than 
drive I "let the train take the strain".  While waiting at Peterborough 
station I was somewhat surprised to see a locomotive come through named 
"The Hoosier State" and wondered about the naming.  A quick Google 
reveals the result - it does come from Indiana having been built in 
Muncie and was named there some months ago.
