I visited Bradford in 1992 and I noticed an imitation railroad crossing signal leading into the football stadium. The Railroader program has also been on life-support in recent years.

Another fine video. Thanks!

That was nice. I enjoyed the musical accompaniment in the second half. I remember lot of the early Conrail days: Locomotives still in the predecessor paint with CR slapped over the road name, cabooses, manned towers. I bet they're' all gone now.

As a lifelong resident of Miami County, I’m excited to finally see footage of Piqua Crossing. The line has been gone for 40 years now, thankfully we still have the very busy CSX Toledo Sub, but besides the bike path that is now on the Panhandle, there’s virtually no evidence of Piqua Crossing anymore.

Is that the line that went to Bradford/West and Urbana/East?

Besides Bradford, Xenia was another Ohio junction town that ended up without rail service when Conrail rerouted traffic onto ex-NYC lines.

CR abandonded the old Pennsy's Panhandle line in favor of the NYC Big four.They didn't need two Freight Lines to St Louis and Chicago

"They didn't need..." This was a disaster of a merger. This damaged hundreds of businesses that relief on rail and permanently handicapped the national rail system.

Finally, some footage of Piqua Crossing. Definitely has been needed. I 😊really hope there is more of the Western Panhandle coming.

On the line to Springfield crossing over in Urbana, the trains seem to be going pretty quick. Was that a pretty active line at the time?

@@thebigstink7472 I don't know an exact number, but I would guess a handful each way daily. There are freight schedules on Multimodalways.org. It was used by trains of autoparts traffic for interchange in Cincinnati from Detroit that didn't need to yard at Buckeye.

I remember the Amtrak detour was due to a bridge replacement on the Dayton-Richmond segment. (Wolf Creek bridge)

Didn't realize until it reached Ansonia and Union City that this is the line I railfan the most nowadays. Cool to see footage of what power was running on the line and probably passed through my stomping grounds back in the day.

The track looks in good shape considering the railroad’s dicey financial situation.

@@RailroadMediaArchive Reminds me of an old joke from that time. You know CR was going to abandon a line, because they would fix it up first.

Talking about "labor"! After the 80's rolled over, all the cabooses were gone, then the crew complaining of doing 3 to 5 persons' job!

Seeing footage of early Amtrak trains got me to wondering about the staff and crews. Were crew and staff from former railroad owned passenger trains automatically transferred over to Amtrak when they took over?

@@JosephMusgrove At this time all Amtrak T&E crews were from the host railroads. So in this video the crews on the National were from Conrail.

With just days before the end of CR, I went up to Ansonia for my last CR trains. What should show up w/b ,,,the CR OCS with two E8s. I was there photo'ing CR from day one. Quite fitting that the first and last time I ever saw the CR OCS was also the last CR train I ever saw/photo'd.

And me to the list of being so excited to see trains on the Bradford line. I grew up in Hilliard and have some memories of trains in Hilliard and Plain City. Would anyone know train count on the Bradford from Hilliard west to Bradford? And if so, any train symbols you can remember? Thank you once again for putting out this footage! It made my day!

Would like to know if KZbin changes or manipulates your original videos ? Reason I ask is I have tons of videos from 70s 80s of trains in similar areas and most containers blue sky and yours the sky is almost always washed out gray. Wondering if you just have videos from cloudy days or the video changes once on KZbin. Great channel, Cheers !
