Come along for a look at Conrail’s west end in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. This program was filmed on the former Pennsylvania Railroad line from Terre Haute, Indiana, to St. Louis, Missouri, along with a look at Conrail’s runthrough trains operated over Union Pacific’s former Missouri Pacific route south of St. Elmo, Illinois.
br>Locations visited include Smithboro, St. Elmo, Altamont, Effingham and Teutopolis, Illinois, on the old P.R.R., along with Kinmundy, Salem and Mt. Vernon on the former MoPac.
br>A wide variety of Conrail’s motive power from the period is seen, including EMD Geeps and SD40’s and SD50’s, as well as various models in the General Electric Dash-7 line. Toward the end of the program, new Dash-8 locomotives with Comfort Cabs and “Conrail Quality” lettering begin to arrive.

    I’ve ALWAYS been a fan of Diverging Clear videos and this one is no exception! It’s GREAT to see a western portion of the Conrail system during the 1980s and 1990s. Sure this isn’t Horseshoe Curve or the Water-Level route but it’s GREAT to see Conrail trains going/coming from St. Louis and southern Illinois (several even with cabooses). This is the era when I came of age as a railfan, but due to finances I could never make it over to see Conrail. I LOVE this video and how it captures history on the southwestern-most portion of BIG BLUE!!! I LOVE IT!!!
