Our first scene is Amtrak's northbound Lake Country Limited passing the Grayslake station on Independence Day 2000 amidst celebration . Next we see three Amtrak trains at Russel, IL, just south of the Wisconsin border. The first train is the southbound Empire Builder led by two Genesis diesels and an F40PH. Then a northbound and southbound Hiawatha pass, both with an F40PH and cab-control unit running "pull-pull" style. Note F40PH #404 that was recently remanufactured and painted into an impressive Phase 4 paint scheme!

Wellsboro never lets us down! We caught an exhilarating moment as a duo of CN freights on the ex-GTW powerfully pull and cross the CSX diamonds. The eastbound is a thrilling manifest, while the westbound showcases an endless unit grain train!

Eastbound Power: EMD SD75I #5752, EMD SD70M-2

Westbound Power: EMD ES44AC's #3826 and #3856

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.

ENDANGERED WESTBOUND PRR POSITION LIGHT HOME SIGNAL AT PLYMOUTH, INDIANA 7/19/17

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. Click here for a 1997 view when this junction still had a triangle of diamonds: 👉🏻

In this video, a northbound Norfolk Southern freight train is captured running directly down the middle of Hickory Street in Warsaw, Indiana, creating a rare and eye-catching example of true street running railroading. The train is powered by a pair of General Electric C40-9W (Dash 9) locomotives, leading the consist through the heart of the city where rails share space with pavement, traffic markings, and nearby buildings. Scenes like this are uncommon in modern railroading and offer a fascinating glimpse into how historic rail routes continue to operate today. This section of track is part of the former New York Central (Big Four) route, which once ran from Goshen, Indiana to Louisville, Kentucky. While many street-running routes have been abandoned or rerouted over time, this line remains active, preserving a unique piece of railroad history. Whether you’re a railfan, a local history enthusiast, or just someone who enjoys unusual sights, this video showcases a moment you truly don’t see every day — a full-sized freight train rolling down a city street as if it were just another vehicle on the road.

📍 Location: Warsaw, Indiana

🚂 Railroad: Norfolk Southern

⚙️ Power: GE C40-9W locomotives

🛤 Historic Route: Former NYC (Big Four)
