One possibility why Conrail didn't keep the Erie Lackawanna was because of online shippers and population centers. The former NYC was in places where it was densely populated whereas the EL didn't have many population centers at all.

It's a pity why Conrail didn't keep the Erie Lackawanna for its hot Chicago-New York intermodal TV trains and the rest for regular freights and Amtrak on the ex New York Central.

Those of us who were employed by Conrail were very proud of what we accomplished.

Great video! Continuous welded rail means no clickety-clack and these trains sail down the tracks like they're riding a ribbon. Looks like lots of SD60 hood units.

god the camera quality makes it 100 times better

Sweet. I miss big blue

On the Conrail side in Indiana it's nowadays owned by Norfolk Southern.

Kind of hard to believe that it's been 23 years since 1999. I remember Conrail trains since I was a little girl in the 1980s.

Sure wish I was alive for Big Blue

Those trains are flying! Awesome!

Nice video thanks for sharing some history with all of us

Love the shots what appeared to be ELSF and BNEL towards the end!

Clark Rd! I was looking at the block signal so far to the left like "that's abnormal plus that's not a Conrai......ohhhhhhhhh that was the B&O block signal from back in the days". Instant like less than a minute in.

Outstanding!

Astonishing!!
