Conrail is on the move again with Green Frog Productions’ video coverage of the busy mainline between Pittsburgh and Crestline, Ohio. This active line sees 60 trains per day, and we visit over 20 locations. This was once the main line west from Pittsburgh for the Pennsylvania Railroad, home to some of the heaviest duty railroading in America.
br>The eastern half of this line is mountainous terrain. Big Blue pulsating power provides helper service through Highland Cut. Almost 4000 cars a day are classified at Conway Yard – Conrail’s largest yard. At Crestline, we’ll see Triple Crown trailers being interchanged between rail and highway service. Conrail as an independent entity could be in its final year as other railroads are seeking to buy it out. Watch history in the making as the big blue locomotives of Conrail roll out their final days. Locals and mainline, shortlines and pool power – it’s all here in broadcast quality video and dynamic digital stereo sound.
