Effingham was once a passenger train hotspot. Pre-Amtrak, the IC ran about 14 trains a day. The Pensylvania likewise on the St. Louis-NYC run. I recall taking the IC from Carbondale, and changing to the PRR eastbound at Effingham. This was in the mid-1960's. I know CSX owns the old Pennsy (Conrail) track now. I wonder how many freight trains they still run on that route?
Holy P32-BWH Gotta love 60 MPH Across the Crossings Maxy, Nice Video, Great Shots
You got some good stuff in Effingham, great video Max.
I like the Amtrak Dash 8 catch. I'm also amazed that they let that crunched auto rack operate in a normal train like that. I didn't think they could.
Awesome shots!
On train 2 the CN train, take a look at the 1 GT Autrorack, it's a little torn apart there. Nice video!!!
