Video

Was this during electrification of the North Jersey coast line being extended to Long Branch

Amtrak F40PH 307 is being converted to an NPCU with an HEP generator.

how did, of all things a GT caboose get on early CSX.

I lived a few blocks north of there in Hegewisch from 2003-2019. Our house was right on the old SC&S at 130th st. I would have loved to have seen all the rail traffic come by the house. The rails were pulled up north of 133rd by the time we lived there.

Nice Video!

He enjoyed watching Gunsmoke on television and tinkering with lawnmowers.

Always Kool for me seeing a Chessie rolling, Appreciate you sharing.

Looks like the horn of f40 368 took it all and the rest of the engine got it all bad

I work in Hammond and wow the railroad scene has totally changed. It is neat seeing the old Monon being repurposed by NICTD

I wonder what year was when all US railroads started to install ditch lights on all their locomotives was it 1992 or 1993?

When did the Cardinal and Hoosier State stop using the SC&S at Burnham?

Cool videos. My first visit there was also in 1986..... November I think. We even got the coal train with P&LE caboose that day too! About those GC steel trains: I am aware of at least one time they made the turn at Warsaw and ran over the ex-PRR mainline instead which must've required changing direction at Warsaw. Crazy times.

Lol 6:45. "DID YOU SEE THOSE WEIRD LOOKIN ENGINES THEYVE GOT?"

I grew up in Hegewisch which is a Chicago neighborhood along the border of Burnham, in this video. It's so cool to see what rail action looked like before my time! I was born in 2000 and in my childhood saw a lot of Conrail power, plus the railroads you'd see in these areas today. Things look so similar yet so different from what I grew up with. This is so cool! Looking forward to seeing more!

Not from there but came to see the time of history and ended up seeing F40 Amtrak runbys, huge fan of F40s

Ive always hated those crossings on burnham ave. And brainard

LOTS of lines used the corridors through Burnham to reach Chicago! Michigan Central, Nickel Plate, C&O, South Shore, Erie Lakawanna and B&O too I think. Still busy today.

I very much enjoyed this video, its very relaxing and reminds me of the days of the Cotton Belt Route out of Pine Bluff,AR. In 1986, I would have been 10 years old. Such a great childhood experience watching trains

Thank you for posting this video with all of these fallen flags. These were my Railroads growing up in CIncinnati

Awesome video!

Love hearing the 2nd clip from time to time, 201 was one of the first NHV F40s to be outshopped in the winter of 87 came out of beech grove with this P5 and still had the bars over the window till the summer of 88. My cousin had his first cab ride at 5 years old with my Dad in 201 to Boston February 1988

Good video! To see a Chessie System stack train is very interesting and a caboose at the end makes it even cool!

The IHB grain train for Irondale coming up the SC&S was awesome to see, too

Good Lord this is great. Having dispatched State Line for IHB it is really cool to see how it was a while back

I used to ride on the chesie engines when i was a kid my dad worked for csx brings back cool memories good video

I use to drive down to these areas just to train watch. Plenty to see anytime!!!

This is great video, some caught on cold days. Love seeing the old Nickel Plate signals. Thanks!!! Also a question, Is the Bernice Cutoff gone? I thought I read that it was pulled up before the CSX/NS takeover of Conrail. Hard to find info on that line. Thanks again.

Wow 381 acouple days before my dad opened the throttle on her Train 69 Adirondack was sent out on 48 April 2nd 2 days later he ran her roundtrip MTRL

368 had it rough eh?

Awesome Catches

ok now THAT is a whistle.

Thanks for this beautiful time machine. So fun to step back into that world, even for a few brief moments.

Albany Rensselaers first Icon F40! Was featured in many brochures and timetables before 341, 307 was overhauled in the summer of 86 around August

Nice Audio

Chicago Fort Wayne & Eastern Operates the line now

So cool! We lived not far from there when I was born, and I've always been interested in older MARC history, thanks for sharing!

This is my town in the 1990s so much cooler back than

I kinda miss seeing Amtrak blast through my town at 79 mph. Now they stop.

This may be a stupid question but does anybody know why the NYC built the Elkhart junction like that? With a diamond going from the middle track to the Kalamazoo branch? It wasn’t until recently that NS realigned the tracks

I wish Amtrak still had P5 sounds than k5la to me😮😢😊 1:01

Indiana Hi Rail was a pretty underrated short line. And now it’s gone the way of the Rock island

What the? What happened to Amtrak F40PH 246???????

5:15 That lashup makes me think of a BN coal train in Pentrex's Best of the Midwest Volume II with one of those white face C30-7s leading. I haven't watched it in years, so I don't know if those are the same road numbers. 39:23 Nice Sears van

Yep thats 260 for the May 13th shot

Strobe ditch lights on the BN unit! I've probably only seen a few other vids of them. Also, some great horns in this one. Definitely a few beautiful K5Hs

5:02 Interesting early ditch lights

Perfect video for a Friday evening!

Great viewing - well done!

Awesome Catches
