1999: Year In Trains - Northern Indiana & Northwest Ohio

Описание: Amtrak, Conrail, CSX, Norfolk Southern, Indiana & Ohio, Toledo, Peoria & Western, & SDI at over 20 different locations. Some scanner audio.

Footage notes:
On the back of the short baretable train at St. Joe on 5/21 is CSXT 994318 (ex-AWP) inspection car “Georgia,” which was later rebuilt/renamed the Prime F Osborn III.
Amtrak #49 at Waterloo has former Florida Fun Train # 358 trailing behind AMTK 51. It was painted back into Amtrak (Phase IV) and then eventually went to the Panama Canal Railway.
The ex-Conrail SD70MAC that you see in Lima 7/14 was only numbered CSX 739 briefly and became CSX 789.
In New Haven 11/6, BN 7149 on 15E was 1 of 2 experimental liquefied natural gas locomotives modified by Energy Conversions Inc. It could use diesel fuel, as well. The flared radiator grills were part of the conversion project.

This was filmed with a Panasonic PV-L559 VHS-C camcorder. VHS-C tapes were only 30 minutes long on the standard speed setting, so that’s why there are so many jump cuts. It was easy to run out of tape. This footage was taken from 3 tapes.

Conrail’s last day was May 31, 1999 and the footage I shot that day is in one of my other videos, “Conrail's last few years east of Fort Wayne (1997-1999)”    • Conrail's last few years east of Fort Wayn...
