Join Green Frog for another look at fallen and falling flag action in the 1990s. In this volume we examine the Indiana and Ohio Short Line which acquired the Grand Trunk’s former Flat Rock Sub and then to run the line purchased quite a number of ex-other-railroad locomotives. We’ll also see Conrail as it becomes a fallen flag.

Since the Indiana & Ohio didn’t have enough locomotive power at the time of the takeover, the I&O had to lease Grand Trunk locomotives (many were former DT&I diesels). When the Grand Trunk sold that line, the track was in pretty sad shape and slow order speeds of 10-20 mph were the norm. Later, as the I&O was able to acquire their own power, I&O painted locomotives came on line and the track was repaired and upgraded for faster speeds.

Another transition took place when NS and CSX took administrative control of Conrail on August 22, 1998.

This video depicts the before and after train action of the Grand Trunk, the Indiana & Ohio, and the pre and post merger split of Conrail. All kinds of Fallen Flag locomotive power are displayed in this program. You’ll see Conrail freight locos as well as the E-8 Office Car Special locos.

Additional Fallen Flag locos depicted are from the DWP, BN, Seaboard System, Wisconsin Central, Susquehanna, I&O and GT. Additional modern day locos from NS (including many high nose models) and CSX in several different paint schemes are shown.

Locations included: Painesville, Fairborn, Springfield, Dayton, Miamisburg, Thackery, DeGraff, Snyderville, Sidney, Quincy, Swanders, Wapakoneta, Lima, Enon, Troy, and Galatea, all in Ohio.
