CSX: Cherry Run to Point of Rocks & Washington, DC 1987-1994 with B & O
A look back to the early years of CSX, when the merger became official in 1987, through 1993, maintaining a 20 year cushion; and as an added bonus the Baltimore & Ohio and the Chessie System are included from the lenses of Rick Morrison, Bob Lemmert, and Bruce Fales. We'll start at Baltimore Street in downtown Cumberland, and head east through the CSX Cumberland Locomotive Facility/Terminal, to Mexico Farms, North Branch, Patterson Creek, Dan's Run, Greenspring, South Branch Bridge, Okonoko, Little Niagra, Paw Paw, the Magnolia Cutoff & Low Line, Orleans Road, Turkeyfoot, Sideling Hill, Great Cacapon, Sir John's Run, Ambrose, Grasshopper Hollow, Hancock, River Road, Sleepy Creek, Cherry Run, Big Pool, Williamsport Hill, Hagerstown, Reid, Waynecastle, Altenwald, Brandon, Chambersburg, Culbertson, Lurgan, Shippensburg, PA., and the Conrail Connection.
Featuring the bucolic South Branch Valley Railroad, Amtrak's Capitol Limited during the years of the F40's and dome cars (and the Amtrak ICE Train too), the winding Berkeley Springs Branch through the Warm Spring Run Valley, and the aftermath of the devastating Orleans Road head on collision of two Chessie System freight trains and more!
