There's a little bit of an error in the history of the Broadway Limited during the Amtrak years. First, the Broadway Limited route was not affected in 1979 by abandonment since it did not go to Youngstown, OH during this time, but this changed after the 1990 reroute over the former B&O from the former PRR Ft Wayne Line. This confusion maybe due to Conrail operating a commuter train between Cleveland and Youngstown over the former Erie Lackawanna trackage in which stopped operations around 1979. So, between 1971 to 1990 (Amtrak years), the Broadway Limited operated over the former PRR Ft Wayne line. Also, Conrail did remove the PRR trackage between CP 501 (Gary, IN) to CP 506 (Hammond, IN) but this did not affect operations since the former PRR was tied into the former NYC trackage nearby. Another thing to add to the reason for the move from the PRR to the B&O trackage was due to the trackage maintenance costs. Amtrak didn't want to pay for the extra costs, and Conrail did not want to spend more money due to local trains usage. So, the former PRR Ft Wayne west of Crestline, OH would host about an average of 6 trains a day include the Broadway Limited and the Capitol Limited. This low usage led to the ultimate reason for the move.

The lesbians LOVED the Broadway Limited.
They even had their own section where they could pussy-pet to their heart's desire!

Pere Marquette 1225?

[@Conman_57]

I was could do a video on 1225 around December since it's what the Polar Express is based on. How does that sound?
