Norfolk Southern’s Marion Branch is a unique line with a rich history dating back to the 1890’s as the Big 4, also known as the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & Saint Louis Railroad. The Marion Branch begins at Goshen and ends at Anderson, Indiana. Our coverage also includes locals continuing onto CSX’s South Anderson Yard. This line travels through many small towns, throughout farm communities and through larger towns with street running. The branch also crosses five other rail lines. Many signs of the big 4 are evident along the line as many CCC&STL concrete posts are still in place. In the early 1970’s, Penn Central installed ex PRR position light signals and we see those still in use before they were replaced! Videographer Kent Nelson recorded trains in all seasons of the year. So much variety in motive power is captured with foreign railroads and several NS heritage units! Plenty of rebuilt and now retired older locomotives are seen, including high hoods! Enjoy the sights and sounds of the NS in an era that won’t be repeated on Norfolk Southern’s Marion Branch!

This is is a great video. The Marion Branch is an interesting line. It was former NYC but during Conrails creation they put up PRR CPL’s which can be seen in this video. Kent Nelson is an excellent videographer and grew up along the Marion Line. This is the only video out that covers the Marion Branch and its full length. This is a must have for any NS fan or and railfan in general.

Wowww….. here is a great video. Lots of corn and soyabeans, cows and horses to be seen. Grain elevators and some beautiful farm land. And snow… in Indiana. Actually, all seasons are shown as the video producer travels from north to south through the Indiana heartland.
Ohhh wait…. there is also trains… lots of trains. Norfolk Southern puts on an excellent show in the state of Indiana. The producer out does himself capturing the Heritage units, but seems particularly fond of the Penn Central unit. And who does not love those NS highhoods? They are in this great video.
Some interesting scenes are… some street running where the engineer ignores the stop signs on the street; a grade crossing where there is a cross buck with a yield sign and “a stop sign”… hummmm; and a pivot with a broken spring & rotator pin thus allowing a train to get a shower, some tank cars in particular.
Well done. A video for everyone.
Excellent.
