Nothing left |
| Description: |
The Cardinal still ran on the C&O in 1984. I recall commenting to another rider, also a fan, that shooting Conrail SWs was a waste of film. His comment was that he shoots everything, since it will all go away-not his exact words!! How right he was. This CR train was on the ex PRR Panhandle line as it approached North Judson, which was by then already a shadow of its former glorious self. The two main lines, the EL and C&O, had been completely abandoned in the ELs case, and cut as a through route in the case of the C&O. The ex PRR would vanish soon as well, leaving essentially nothing there, except for some short segments that accessed a grain shipper. Now the only thing left is the Hoosier Valley RR Museum, which is worth going there to see, even if there is no main line action. Sic Transit Gloria. |
