- Scenes from 1999 to 2006 showing the transition era from Conrail Blue to Norfolk Southern Black on NS Harrisburg Division and Conrail Shared Assets. Lots of Dash 8's and PRR lettered blue locos. Pardon the quality differences as these videos were shot on three different cameras.

This is why I think NS should at least repaint 1 of their SD80s into conrail Quality Paint scheme so we can at least Remember the CR in more than a Es44ac
Been many years since I've seen one but it always was a thing of beauty. Since Conrail was the only railroad to purchase them it certainly makes sense to paint at least ONE in its original colors.
I agree!!!
@Star Giant Productions Yes, but it doesn't capture the essence of Conrail. Conrail never had ES44s, so it would make more sense to paint a single remaining SD80MAC in Conrail Quality colours
@@cnhaltonsub @Renetric 602 the SD70ACu's are all being sold so your idea is out the window lol
@@kyaing9047 oh no I know 😂 i completely forgot about this comment
As he passes years in the video you can really see how much ns took over
The early to mid 00s are pretty underrated for railfanning. A lot of new model locomotives that have become mainstays (SD70s and GEVOs) with nearly extinct on mainlines Dash 8-9s along with AC6000CWs, SD60i's, SW1500s. At least the Geeps are still safe.
for now
Great show! Great camera action along with all the different power units!
7:06 NS 5424. the last CR blue sd50 and last CR painted unit on NS
I miss seeing Big Blue.
Tech 83 Studio Me Too especially here in Chicago & Northwest Indiana !!!
Love the K5LA's NS use to have.Also the RS3's the CR was known for.
During the Conrail years, we got tired of hearing the RS-3L's because they were so common. It was nice to hear a K5 because you knew it was either a Chessie or D&H train, something different. We used to call it the "ABC's" (Anything But Conrail). Now I get a flash of nostalgia every time I hear an ex-CR unit go by with an RS-3L on it.
Great to see the history behind NS.
Awesome Video
14:08 Wow, an ex Conrail SD60M with a Graham White e-bell. Was not aware that ever existed. You can even see it, painted silver mounted forward of the fuel tank. When was that shot?
May 2000.
@@fmnut Interesting. Would have been one of the very first uses of a GW E-bell on freight power then. There was an order of NS Dash 9s being delivered with E-Bells in 2000 which could provide a clue as to where it came from.
I did see some conrails with my own eyes but I didn't upload any of them to my channel. Although some trains that I caught were EX-Conrails though.
awesome train video
9:15-9:20 those conrail engines still have there original numbers!
Yes, some of these shots are from the first few weeks after the split.
Great video, well done.
Amazing work!!!!
Nice Conrail footage
11:07 NS 1700 Now known as the Eire Lackawanna Special Interest Unit working for the CSAO
11:08 I saw 1700!
awesome video..
On the 3426, you can see PRR below the numbers on the side of the cab. I’ve only found prr to stand for Pennsylvania railroad, but that’s been long gone. I’ve also seen it on NS units. What does it mean?
At the time of the Conrail split, CR units going to NS were sublettered PRR to avoid conflicts with units going to CSX. Similarly all CR freight cars going to CSX were sublettered NYC. These markings are no longer relevant.
fmnut thanks man. Interesting how they chose to do that
I know this is from 1999 to 2006, but can you do a timeline of each year? Great video, miss conrail.
It bounces around a lot. Generally the blacker the loco consist, the later it is. The Shared Assets footage is from 2003.
@@fmnut Oh, I see. Yeah it does bounce around.
do you have any Canadian side footage of Conrail? or know anybody that does. that is the line I want to set my model train after
sparky107107 Sorry, Conrail was out of Canada by the time I started with video. Try doing a search on TH-cam for CASO, there is some CR footage out there.
Blackie what's the wòrd on Wall Street split of Conrail CRS railroad stock holdings LLC
NS came in 1988 itself
NS and CSX split date for Conrail was June 1, 1999.
@@fmnut No. NS came in 80's itself. In 1998-99 NS expanded itself and took half of Conrail. That's why the part of Conrail taken by NS, which includes GE Dash 7, GE Dash 8, GE Dash 9, SD60AC, SD70AC and SD80AC is known as NS-*Conrail*
@@JishyFishy4106 you are confused. Norfolk Southern was formed in 1982 by a merger of the Norfolk and Western railroad and the Southern Railway. In 1999, Conrail was split, 58% went to NS and 42% went to CSX. There were several areas in New Jersey, Philadelphia and Detroit that were important to both carriers and could not be separated equitably. These became Conrail Shared Assets, a separate company whose revenue is divided on the same ratio as the original split. Equipment is provided by the parent companies. There is no such thing as NS Conrail!
@@fmnut I know. But rail fans like FFV (FastFlyingVirginian) call it like that..
@@JishyFishy4106 Well, he isn't the first rail fan to get the facts wrong, and he won't be the last. But disseminating bad info doesn't help.
23:24 is that the first or one of Norfolk southern’s ex conrail c40-8w?
Yes 8396, ex CR 6189
ELS bought one of conrails engines
Eric They actually got 3 ex Penn Central GP38s from Conrail, numbered 400 to 402. They also leased 2 Conrail SD40-2'S back when they were handling Groveland ore trains in the 1980s.
oh. ELS bought a BNSF engine
Eric Actually I think that was leased from Independent Locomotive Services (ILSX).
***** oh. The tracks in Seymour didnt have enough business to run on for CN. If GBW was around would there still be business on that line
