MONON THE HOOSIER LINE

#trains #diesellocomotive #history Paul Sartori joined our trainclub during mid 1997, in 1998 osmr had to find a new home and we ended up using a machine shop in apopka for most of the year, the shop had a small office that had a hvac and on tuesdays some of our club members would show up in the afternoons and Paul would put on a show with his train movies for entertainment. Pauls shows covered Alote of the united states as he moved very frequently Paul also recently converted all his movies to DVD so they can be played at the train club and so they can be shared to everyone watching the youtube channel. Special thanks to Paul for the movies all the credit goes to him! ILLEGAL COPY OR UPLOAD OF THIS ON ANYONE ELSE’S CHANNEL WILL GET PROSECUTED.

#32, the one shown in the video to illustrate the BL2s. Come see it in New Haven, KY (about an hour south of Louisville)

I’m shocked you didn’t mention how it was the longest single tracked class 1 or how they had their own railroad crossing signals

[@ORLANDOSOCIETYOFMODELRRCLUB]

very interesting review of the Monon. I never knew the C628s were bought for a coal contract that never came to be. The LV ran them together on long heavy trains and they were hard on the track, at one point in time, the D&H banned them from their rails so the LV had to use 4 axle power to run over the D&H. You can see a lot of these units in the LV colors in the John Pechulis Production series railfanning with the Bednars. there are previews on youtube if you search it.

"Grosport" should be Gosport, "Belford" should be Bedford and "Montichello" should be pronounced as Montisello. The dubbed in sounds are pretty cheesy.
