CSX (C&O) Trackage at La Crosse and Malden, IN 2000

At one time, FIVE railroad lines intersected here. The C&O and Pennsylvania Railroad had Chicago-Cincinnati mainlines that ran side-by-side. A C&O branch line (ex-Pere Marquette), from New Buffalo, Michigan, came in from the north and joined the C&O main. The Monon's Michigan City branch crossed the PRR and C&O mains on the west side of town. If that wasn't enough, the Chicago Attica & Southern ran in a northeast direction and crossed everything! Modern times have brought drastic change to La Crosse. The Chicago Attica & Southern was abandoned after World War II. The Monon followed in 1981 and the PRR in 1984. The C&O was closed to through traffic west of here in 1977, and Amtrak's JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY and all freights were routed via the B&O to Wellsboro, Indiana, then south on the ex-Pere Marquette branch to join the C&O mainline here. This continued until 1986, when the line was downgraded and Amtrak rerouted. Here we see the switch where the Pere Marquette branch joins the C&O. The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum's excursions rarely make it this far west. Our final shot is at Malden, Indiana, a short distance west. The enormous grain elevator is the only reason for the line's existence. The tracks were removed west of here in 1983. Today the trackage in Malden and La Crosse is operated by the short line Chesapeake & Indiana. =============================================================================== 📲📼Phone Video Vlogging Kit! https://geni.us/b4Vp 🚗 🧳 Travel Accessories Kit! https://kit.co/MR77100/travel-accessories 📸 📽 Vlogging Kits! https://kit.co/MR77100/vlogging-kits 📹 🎥 📽 Video Camera Kits! https://kit.co/MR77100/video-cameras

 💲 https://join.robinhood.com/marke833 💰  ================================================================================= This is a walkthrough of the railroad trackage in Kokomo, Indiana. The PRR's Panhandle Line, NKP Cloverleaf, and NKP IMC lines all cross here in the shape of a triangle. The Cloverleaf has been removed on the west side of town. All this trackage is operated primarily by G&W, although NS does occasionally visit town from the east. This is my first walk-through with text, so I appreciate the feedback. ================================================================================= 🛰️ 📟Garmin GPS System! https://geni.us/PlRcW

 In Frankfort, Indiana, a pair of Conrail GP15-1's pull a train of ADM tank cars and covered hoppers south on the ex-PRR "I&F" branch. We also look at the ROW of the abandoned Monon Route which was abandoned in 1991 north of here and removed in 1993. The Monon had been abandoned south of here to Sheridan in 1984. The old station was burned. =============================================================================== 🎥 Pro Canon Camcorder! https://geni.us/CanonXA11 ]
