Chessie and BEAUTIFUL fall color over Sand Patch grade, October 1990

[@pinecone01]

Those old Chessie colors go beautifully with the fall colors. It's such a shame that color scheme isn't used anymore. Would take it over the rather boring CSX colors any day! Thanks for sharing.

It’s great to see old school railroading 👍🏻

[@1jackdk]

For sure. Can't beat it. Thanks for watching.

I'm always struck by the lack of graffiti on the railcars of that era compared to now. Something I need to consider when I model different time periods - videos such as this are very helpful!

Very nice video! Absolutely love the Chessie paint scheme and the early CSX paint schemes too! Awesome! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🚂🚂🚂🚂

I always loved the old Chessie locos with the fallen flag initials on cab.

We always said you could see more Conrail hi cubes on CSX than you could on Conrail. Really nice stuff and it was a great time to be out there.

[@hornhospital]

Great stuff as always, Jack!

[@1jackdk]

That steam train at the end..... was that what used to be the Allegheny Central?

[@Bob.W.]

Thx Jack. Isn't that the same line that goes through the Hog Pen? October 1990 was the month my dad died. Long time ago now.

[@1jackdk]

Yes Bob, passes me at the Hog Pen, and the east bounds hit Sand Patch about 2, 2-1/2 hours later. Time does fly Bob. Lost my mom 25 years ago. Long time as well, but still feels like yesterday. My dad is still alive, God Bless him. He turned 97 back in July. Still sharp as a tack, and even survived the covid. Since he lives in NJ, and me in PA, they will not permit me to see him, since NJ is locked down again, to out of state visitors. I talk to him on the phone every other day or so.So that is good.

[@Bob.W.]

@@1jackdk thx for the kind response. Glad to hear your dad is still with you.

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Nice video 👍 How do you acquire all these?

Whoever came up with that bloody boring can opener & solid blue livery known as "con" rail should've been fired.
