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: 👉🏻
