CN GP9 with P5 horn and Caboose at Champaign, IL 2004

 

 

 The CN Seymour local winds through downtown Champaign at Randolph Street. On the west side of Randolph, the IC branch actually fed into the Wabash branch line, so at this point he is actually running on the Wabash. The Illinois Terminal put their wires over these tracks as well, and the depot was immediately to my left. Note the "jog" in the platform where the bay window once was. This track is now gone. At this point, the CN train heads east on the ex-Wabash to the IC New Orleans mainline.

CSX Wellsboro, IN Railroad Junction Reallignment 1998

 

In August, 1998, we visited Wellsboro, Indiana, to find that CSX had done some housecleaning, much to the disgust of railfans. CSX's ex-B&O Willard Sub crossed the GTW Chicago-Battle Creek main, as well as CSX's ex-C&O nee-Pere Marquette branch. The three lines once crossed here in the shape of a triangle. Now the C&O simply merges into the B&O on a new connecting track from the south. The diamonds with the B&O and GTW were removed, as well as all the C&O trackage north of the junction. A balloon track once wrapped around and connected up with the B&O to the west. Between 1974 and 1986, Amtrrak's JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY, later renamed the CARDINAL, used the C&O mainline through Indiana. Beginning on June 1, 1977, it took the B&O to Wellsboro, and utilized this connecting track to the Pere Marquette branch, which they took to La Crosse to pick up the C&O of Indiana mainline. The Pere Marquette branch was abandoned north of here in 1988. Note the recently removed rail, rusty connecting tracks, and the new tri-light signals, which replaced the color position lights. You can see a CPL lying on the ground on the south side of the mainline. My father, who was always big into the signal hobby, was furious when he saw this sight! As of 2011, the trailers next to the diamond are also gone. Wellsboro is still a hotspot, but is not as interesting as it once was.

  As early evening settles over Wellsboro, Indiana, an eastbound CSX intermodal stack train throttles up from a stop and storms across Water Street on the west side of town. The ground trembles as the train digs in and accelerates toward the mainline. Moments later, the train glides past the interchange yard, where a unique road slug set steals the spotlight. The slug—rebuilt from a former GP30—is paired with a GP40 “Mother” unit, a fascinating example of horsepower redistribution and classic yard switching technology. This distinctive setup even helped inspire the artwork for my business card ads. Leading the charge on the mainline is modern Tier 4 power, with a GE ET44AH working alongside a GE ES44AC GEVO, delivering impressive horsepower and efficiency as the stack train charges eastward through northern Indiana rail territory. Filmed on June 20, 2017.
