Conrail Chicago Line Amherst to Vickers (Ohio)

Chicago Line action on a windy early spring day in 1999. Amherst, Danbury, Vickers and Millbury.

11:17 finally! First decent quality footage of a Conrail SD70Mac I’ve seen. Bless.

Love seeing Conrail-era action at Vickers. I spend way too much time there.

It looks like the speeds at Sandusky Bay were much higher under Conrail than they are under Norfolk Southern. Excellent old school video!

Cool video, always appreciate those who captured this history for ppl like me. Very interesting to see CR still rolling nearly 15 yr after the split.-MD

I love footage from Port Clinton. Cedar Point provides a stunning backdrop in addition to the lake.

I go to the station in Amherst on a Weekly basis and to see what it was like 20 years ago is kind of hilarious a lot is changed since then the two coaches and caboose are gone and the depot was recently bought by the city of Amherst to be turned into a park not demolished though it’s gonna be kept renovated restored you get the picture The old station tracks are they’re still overgrown but also part of the renovation and trains still go up and down the Chicago line daily up to 80 a day
