This is so far beyond cool!!! Old and gritty, real sound, Sony handheld. Great stuff. Surprised there isn't a datestamp in the corner😂😂😂 Keep posting these old gems
Shelby Indiana misses you Chessie System, Seaboard System, Family Lines, New York Central, Penn Central, Conrail, L&N, and ofcoarse the gone but never forgotten Monon "the Hoosier Line" railroads...❤
Anderson Indiana here, this is why I loved the 80s, I grew up 1 block from the North/South NYC/PC/Conrail line from Anderson to Marion and Elkhart yards and I'm building a Conrail N Scale layout in the mid 80s so I can run cabooses and a mix of power from these different roads!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍
It was single track for roughly 40 years between Hamler and East Gary. The B&O took out the south track in sections and converted the line to CTC in the late 1950s. CSX changed it back to all double track in 1997.
Hi Zeke Ill try and see which F40 is leading on the 49 clip, Could possibly be 263 among other overhauled in those months. Nice shot of the last of the Summer 1983 to Spring 1988 consist, 4 Mail Fall 86 to Spring 88.
I love that Chessie K5LA booking it through Walkerton. Interesting long cut of coil cars with Chessie hoods.

Nice catches from 1988. That K5LA at 7:01 though.
That K5 at 7:01 is the best K5 I've ever heard in my life.
likely one of the earliest production K5LAs in existence
It’s so cool seeing lad footage of places I regularly visit now.
Zeke! Lead F40 on April clip is 354!! 😎
I'll update my notes. Thanks!
@ Youre welcome!
Awesome catches of the New Haven F40s as they were being assigned to Chicagos pool

new old content excellent!!!! Thank you
Cant wait to hear 203 and see 345 in the 1989 series. 203 would be the last F40 to be in phase 2 till spring of 90.
Still crazy to think that majority of the local and switching power we know today was once the creme de la creme of the railroads back then.
I never knew they had sections of single track on the old B&O mainline (Chicago to WIllard OH)-it must have been a short lived reduction.
