  • Photographer Rich Scheild's professional digital camera captures the last winter for Conrail and the worst in Conrail's history. Taped on the Dearborn Division, where 32 inches of snow fell in just a few days. Operations came to a halt with switches snow covered and frozen. We visit locations in Michigan and Ohio along the Detroit to Toledo line and on the Michigan line which runs from Detroit to Chicago.

    I worked for Conrail back in 1976. Helped lay the new ribbon rail thru Waldorf Maryland.

      I worked all the yards from Sterling Heights to downriver Trenton/ Wyandotte and was on the road xtra board from Toledo to Conway right around the time this video was shot. Hell I might even have been in a couple of the trains shown!

    I hate to be that person but does anyone know the music in the beginning? I had this movie when I was a kid and I always wanted to know what the opening song was. Thanks

      Conductor Robes Grand Trunk Western, which was and still is a subsidiary of the Canadian National despite the fact most GTW trains sport CN painted units.

    reporting Mark's NYC went to csx. but you fail to mention that reporting Mark's PRR went to Norfolk southern. and I don't think you remember the winters of 1976 or 1977 ?those where the worst in conrail history. ad the facts that conrail was in much worse condition in those years.
