Conrail Southern Tier 

At Kingsland Indiana's GS tower, I used to follow the EL Signal Maintainer around as he tested the semaphores and fiddled w/one that always seemed to have issues. He patiently answered my pesky questions. Miss those good times.

ERIE ORIGINAL HIGH AND WIDE🚂🚂🚂👍👍

The sounds of history

No, this route is NS now.

Southern tier is a NS route. Conrail was never in Canada

RailFan Connor611 Also Conrail had a line to Montreal thru upstate New York.

That's Starrucca Viaduct in Lanesboro PA

***** Thanks, it's a great view!

So....😂

Yes, the 5308. Bad edit, sorry.

Mostly between Addison and Hornell NY with one pair at Tioga Center.

Dexter The Mapper It was an Operation Lifesaver trip. It was the last Office Car Special to run on the Tier.

IHEARTPEPSI2 2 Couldn't say, I haven't been up there since the Conrail split.

No it’s not. NYSW only runs one train a day and no NS trains

thetrainguy1 what about west of Binghamton?

fmnut west of Binghamton is a different story but East the line See's little traffic

Now NS runs 1 manifest each way between Buffalo & Binghamton with some auto and international Intermodal stuck on occasionally, Intermodal/Auto each way, Intermodal w/occasional auto each way. The locals in Buffalo, the Buffalo-Silver Springs local, a local in Corning area, one up to Geneva, one to Ithaca, and the Binghamton-Owego local. Most trains run at night usually.

After a prolonged battle for control NS and CSX jointly purchased Conrail and split the assets and routes between them. Conrail still exists as a much smaller entity operating shared assets in New Jersey, Philadelphia and Detroit.

It was split between CSX and Norfolk Southern.

***** ELS bought a conrail engine. Ever heard of ELS

+Eric (ericondefense) Yes, I have videos and slides of ELS from many visits.

***** oh. WC would have taken out Seymours line either way because it wasnt making business on that line right

+Eric (ericondefense) That's right

I think the whole deal about selling the line was a rouse. Conrail had a good alternative line to the NYC, yet got NYS to pay for it.

Yes, it was largely irrelevant back in the 90s after the water level route was cleared for double stacks. Not sure why they spent the megabucks for the new Portage bridge.

RailFan Connor611 everyone is entitled to their opinion. I happen to like the RS-3L.
