At the end of July 2023, a friend and I made the journey to Northern Indiana to spend some time on CSX's former B&O mainline primarily between Wellsboro and Nappanee, but also featuring a couple other spots outside of that range. Canadian National had a 4-car derailment after striking a car the day prior in Valparaiso, so unfortunately no CN action was logged on the ex-GTW mainline during the Wellsboro portion. CSX made up for it with high volumes of traffic, though.
After spending time in the Hoosier State, we bring it back to Northeast Ohio and the mainlines of NS and CSX in and around my hometown of Ravenna. Enjoy!
