Conrail Train Watching in Elkhart Indiana 1990

[@DavidNSRailfan]

Love the old Elkhart real footage with the old configurations of track thanks for sharing

[@Trainlm]

Great video. Sure miss Conrail. Nothing like clean freight cars with no graffiti.

[@NashRailfan]

As the song ‘stressed out’ would say: “wish we could turn back time, to the good ol’ days...”

[@Lars559]

Appreciate seeing the whole train. We don't have nearly enough footage of freight cars from the 90's.

Please Bring Back More Conrail Classics

Was in high school at this time (Nappanee) but lived close to this line and my family often stopped at this station on Sundays. Even got to go up into a couple of engines of EBs that waited on track 3 which was a thrill for a teen. We became friends with Nancy the agent (who sometimes worked SB too and that was back when South Shore departed where the Amshack was). Really miss these NYC signals now that NS has changed the alignment and reduced the number of tracks crossing Main St. Thanks for the memories!

Tracks that split off to the left are Elkhart Railroad tracks a small short line. Other than that grew up watching these trains over in Osceola when I was young.

[@allenctracy6511]

I really like seeing the freight cars times sure have changed.

The good 'ol days of 4 axle powered TOFC/stack trains. Please post all that you have. Subscribed.

[@michianamainlines3538]

Thanks so much.More to come.

The point where this video is showing the main streets crossing when I was a kid there was a derailment right there. A trin loaded with steel billets took the turn too fast. A few more yards and it would have hit the Train Station. Watched them pick up the cars, and steel. My dad was a railroader then.

Interesting how American Presidents Lines APL was one of UP and Conrails biggest customer in the 1990s

[@michianamainlines3538]

Thanks so much.More to come.Sad to think I may be the only one with some of this stuff but that is what some are saying.

[@elvin.castro]

After the CP 421 (Elkhart) Track realignment all the old Signs were removed including the NYC signal bridge. As well as the 2 mains close adjacent to the station

[@arrowguy173]

It looks so different now. Miss those NYC era signals.

[@roddavis9701]

Nice with oid Rolling stock on their back in day !!

[@michianamainlines3538]

Thanks so much.Never realized when I shot this how cool it would be some day to look back.

[@0utside_andy]

...and no graffiti!! I love it.

[@Steelers2841]

Train 3 is SFSE With a Block for Conway Yard b

[@Steelers2841]

The Locomotive on Both Ends was FWEL AND ELFW

[@michianamainlines3538]

But then later changed to FP to avoid confusion with some Fort Worth train.

[@Steelers2841]

@@michianamainlines3538 Could Said FTWI that would have sound better or Even FWI that what my Foster Dad Charlie always Called it then UP Guys could on their Trains of FWT

[@wb4514]

[@cbalducc]

What was the sticker on the front of the firsttrain?

[@jimstewart6587]

The big railroad today. Just don't care about the customer's no more. All they care about money.
