Conrail Southern Tier Volume 1

[@rayinpau.s.a.6351]

I remember the Delaware & Hudson coming through Coraopolis Pa in the 70's . The engines , and coal cars always looked brand new . (clean) and there were always 2 pusher engines in the middle of the train . I enjoy Mike's knowledge and commentary in these videos !

Mike Bednar is the best narrator

Great quality recordings

Nice video. Great catch. I like freight trains especially cabooses. You only see cabooses nowadays just at the state borders for long hauls. Other places. They use cabooses once in a blue moon. Not too often. The deliveries they make are local runs. That's probably why

Thank you for sharing👍

Early Conrail Double Stack Trains on the former Erie Mainline👍

I enjoyed the video what I liked was seeing the engines that had the old NW symbol

The southern tier was an albatross for Conrail.

[@stephenheath8465]

It serve as the backup line for the old Water Level Route pretty much between NYC and Buffalo

Where is most freight traffic routed today below Binghamton? Is it toward Sunbury and Enola rather than Allentown, PA or Suffern, NY and NJ? NS stopped the Allentown to Binghamton freight which used 45 miles of Reading and Northern and only has the local to Hazleton. I don't think the ex-Erie from Binghamton to Port Jervis is used much and the ex-LV south of Sayre, PA isn't really a through route anymore, RBMN owns the track south of Mehoopany and NS leases the Athens-Mehoopany segment to Lehigh Railway. In the Conrail era there was an Allentown, PA to Corning, NY freight which used the ex-LV from Pittston to Sayre, and into Waverly, NY where it then went on the ex-Erie Southern Tier.

It's nice to see the cars before they were defaced with that terrible graffiti.

Not exactly a smooth ride in some spots........
