Step onto the captivating world of Hotrail Productions, where the magic of lights, camera, and trains combines to create an unforgettable experience. I travel all over the country photographing railroad history in the making. My footage dates back to 1995. Whether it's a thrilling action sequence or a heartwarming romantic scene, the railway has long been a favorite setting for filmmakers and TV producers.
Transplanted PRR Position Light SIGNAL 6 N/S at New Paris, Indiana. This signal once guarded the crossing with the Wabash, which was abandoned in 1983. Note the Darth Vader replacement across the track. This signal was replaced three months later.
At Cortland, Illinois, a long westbound UP intermodal train crosses over from the south track to the north track, passing the waning C&NW searchlight signals. Power is a pair of SD70ACES's and a pair of GEVOS, with one ACE in the middle. This was my final video of these searchlights before their retirement. Does anyone know when the final cutover was made?

After the Conrail local passes, a long northbound Norfolk Southern train accelerates from a stop and crosses the diamond. Power is an SD40-2, a C39-8, and an SD40-2 with a high nose. Note the block of "shorty" tank cars and piece of track in the gondola.
At one time, the NYC had a branch line that passed through here, and the ROW is visible crossing the NS. A segment of the line remains to the north to serve a quarry at Spore. A new connecting track off the Fort Wayne Line provides access.
