This is strictly archival stuff gathered from speaking w/GLO folks @ various organizations HQ'd in Indy...I believe the train hub theory makes sense, although Chicago was a more travelled destination in those days.
The reason that many GLOs call Indy home (per the aforementioned chats) is that it was the largest, centrally-located hub outside of a big city (a.k.a. Chicago). Guess there was some fear of being in a larger metropolitan area...
