This is Conrail’s high traffic Chicago Line, part of Big Blue’s Dearborn Division, and Elkhart is a large classification and hump yard on the Contrail System. We’ll see over 70 trains! It’s a mix of train types from trailer-van to mail to steel and manifest.
Locations include Chicago, Conrail on the BRC, Whiting, Gary, Ogden Dunes, Burns Harbor, Otis, Pinola, LaPorte, South Bend and Elkhart. Besides Conrail power we’ll see a variety of western road run through power and units and trains from CP, CSX, NS, SP, UP, Chicago Short Line and the South Shore.
This is vintage nineties footage, shot using nineties equipment. It is not as sharp as programs shot today. Still, these are interesting scenes, many not covered elsewhere, and the narration is informative and top notch.
Jim –
Great tour of the line from Chicago to Elkhart. Trains and locations are identified very well. Most trains have detailed description of origin and destination. Very informative program.

This is a great classic Conrail program, lots of action. See conrail activity in the BRC clearing yard and follow the busy main east to Elkhart. Power seen is anything from gp15’s to the last new power for Conrail.
