- Conrail, Amtrak, CSX, Norfolk Southern, and W&LE. There are a few scanner transmissions, too. Locations include Elyria, Galion, Sterling, Amherst, Lorain, Greenwich, New London, Nova, Sullivan, Lodi, Spencer, and Warwick. You can skip to the various segments using the links below.
Filmed with a Panasonic OmniMovie VHS Camcorder. My "scanner" back then was a Yaesu FT-23R.
Thanks for watching!

00:00 Elyria, Ohio - CP 207 - March 1, 1992. Conrail & CSX diamond - 2 westbound Conrails
02:39 Galion, Ohio - March 8, 1992. CCC&StL Depot & CP 80 (formerly Burt Tower). Conrail Mail-4 with 3 SD50s and PICO use the Columbus Line.
08:19 Sterling, Ohio - March 22, 1992. Former RU tower where the Erie Lackawanna once crossed the B&O. Caught 4 trains here. The first one appears to be R138.
14:06 Amherst, Ohio - April 11, 1992. Conrail TOPI and Amtrak # 49 (F40 311 leading). At Fairlane Yard eastbound Conrail TV-10 does a short horn exchange with the train switching the yard. Fairlane Yard (named after the vehicle that used to be built here) handled the Ford plant traffic at the Lorain Assembly plant, which closed in 2005.
19:36 Lorain, Ohio - April 11, 1992. Grab shot of an eastbound NS at Leavitt Rd. on the Cleveland District (ex-NKP) and then some footage at the RU drawbridge. L37 I believe was the Bellevue-Cleveland local. A pretty awesome sounding Southern P5 horn is on NS 4021.
22:16 Greenwich, Ohio - April 12, 1992. Conrail and CSX action at the former Boyd diamond and at the former GN Tower. A windy day.
34:34 New London, Ohio - April 12, 1992. Some shots around the now gone W&LE yard (ex-AC&Y) and Lake Erie Rail Car - the shiny red engine was their switcher. This was just 2 years or so after NS sold the AC&Y to the Wheeling & Lake Erie.
35:18 Nova, Ohio - April 12, 1992. Former VN tower. Eastbound CSX 6773.
37:19 Sullivan, Ohio - April 19, 1992. CSX eastbound TOFC & a westbound CSX 7625 meet. This was Easter Sunday.
40:10 Lodi, Ohio - April 19, 1992. W&LE GP35s from Brewster headed to New London. It seemed like for a while W&LE had this routine on Sundays where they repositioned power between the two locations. The CSX WEPX train comes through with CNW power leading. I followed the light power to Spencer and then to New London.
41:13 Spencer, Ohio - April 19, 1992. Same W&LE light power now is westbound on the AC&Y. Then I paced it for a bit on Route 162.
42:30 New London, Ohio - April 19, 1992. The light power now crosses the Conrail diamond and heads to the AC&Y yard for parking. The diamond was just an automatic interlocking - controlled by the Indy Line DS. This diamond was once called Hiles (NYC tower) and is gone today, as are the AC&Y tracks between here and Greenwich. The W&LE uses the CSX to Greenwich where it rejoins the AC&Y at GN. There is a vehicle overpass here as well that helps make this area nearly unrecognizable today.
45:06 Warwick, Ohio - April 26, 1992 - Former Pennsy tower and closed at this time. The first train approaches but it started raining. 2 more CSX trains come through on the former B&O.
48:37 Sterling, Ohio - April 26, 1992 - eastbound CSX
49:31 Greenwich, Ohio (Boyd) - May 3, 1992 - Another windy day. 2 westbound CSX, The SCL unit (CSX 6359) has an awesome RS5T.
52:10 New London, Ohio - May 3, 1992 - W&LE 2701 light power tones up the Conrail Indy Line DS to cross the diamond. They never had to wait for anyone. An eastbound Conrail coal train led by CR 6064 wraps up the day.
56:50 Lorain, Ohio (RU) - May 9, 1992 - 4 NS trains.
1:03:26 Lagrange, Ohio (Route 303) - May 10, 1992. Grab shot of an eastbound Conrail coal train led by CR 6075.
1:03:39 Elyria, Ohio (CP 207) - May 15, 1992 - 2 westbound Conrails. The first WB is towing 3 ATSF C40-8Ws fresh from the Erie factory. MYTO (Motor Yard - Toledo) primarily handled the traffic from the Ford stamping plant that used to be in Walton Hills, which closed in 2014. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

I love the old N&W/SOU Engines, along with Conrail,Seaboard,and Chessie too!
Seems like a shorter time ago than it actually was. What was once standard fare (cars, locomotives, etc...) is now pretty remarkable. Lots of GP30s that weren't slugs still towing the line, and Chessie System yellow abound. It's a great video.
Much appreciated. Thank you!
Love railroading content from the 90s and early 2000s.
Me too
I miss old school CSX from the late 1980s early 90s..
Always sad to see the former Erie Lackawanna right of way. Now the railroad that grabbed the EL is gone too! Great work, thanks Zeke!
Appreciate it. Thanks!
46:00 love that B&O/C&O engine on the front one of the engines that was never repainted into Chessie System colors
Great stuff. I particularly like the scenes at Sterling in the snow, especially that eastbound trailer train.
Thanks!
Outstanding video and, thanks for sharing era video!!! Cheers David from Maryland, USA! 👍💪
I was like why so many views Then I seen it's historical value ! Lovely !
The filming down the middle of the rail made me nervous Glad you didn't get struck
Nice work.
Great video of the area, shortly after I moved to Minnesota. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
this was before the gevo :)
Oh and great video.
20:55 Hard to believe 4021 is still working today, at the Lhoist North America Franklin operation
MYTO AND TOMY also handle Chrysler Traffic from the Twinsburg Stamping Plant Close on June 26, 2010 About 1/2 Mile away NS Open it Maple Heights Intermodal Terminal in 2015 Motor Yard was located in Macedonia ( Bedford)
Yep and it's amazing how many plants there used to be in that area!
@@wmuzekeFord's Walton Hills plant was other That close. As well only plant is left is GM Parma Plant and Ford Cleveland Engine plant besides the Ford Avon Plant that all in the Cleveland Area
FedEx and Amazon are there now. I worked at FedEx three years ago
Why do they look like they go fast then they go these days....
Que bonitos transportes de trenes
8:35 what the hell is that funky noise!!??
Propane switch heater.
@@wmuzeke Makes one heck of a sound. We have them here on NS and they dont sound like that
Very nice, thanks for sharing! (Dave).
That's a Southern old cast P5, but only 2 or 3 bells are working.
Most likely from wear and tear. Assuming it's the original horn from 1964, that's a lot of years worth of tunnels, smoke, coal dust, pollen, and rain for it to endure.
It is but is now # 109 and was rebuilt about 15 years ago with a low hood. It still has the Alco trucks. You can find some recent videos of it here on YT. It has a K5LA horn.
I don't live in that part of the country anymore, but I looked online and in 2016 it had a new cast P5. Seems like it was renumbered to # 2095, which sounds like it has a mixed cast P5.
Don't know about 265. I'll see about the I&O since I don't have that much footage of it. It probably will be mixed in with a regional video like this one.
A Brand New Santa Fe C40-8Ws
Nice red Daytona. Turbo or V6? Manual or Automatic??
I think that was the RU tower operator's car so I don't know. It is pretty sweet, though!
nice
Seein that puppy by itself was too upsetting for me
31 years ago.
41:14 ex n&w and ex southern
I wonder what year was when all US railroads started to install ditch lights on all their locomotives was it 1992 or 1993?
They were mandated by the FRA by the end of 1997, but started appearing on locomotives (particularly the new orders) towards the end of 1992. Some railroads like BN & CR used ditch strobe lights a little earlier than that.
@@wmuzeke very cool
I wish I had paid more attention to the engines in my day. The sad part is I have always enjoyed trains. By the way, 44 min. what types engines WW&LE were they?
Those are GP35s and have the AAR B trucks.
