1990: Year In Trains - Northern Indiana

This is mostly Milford Jct. Some other locations include South Bend, Lydick, Fort Wayne, Walkerton, Claypool (one grab shot of N&W 1218), & Nappanee. March 1990 was when CSX unveiled the YN2 (CSX-bc) scheme, which became the standard for CSX for over a decade. November 11, 1990 was the day that Amtrak switched the Broadway Limited (# 40/41) from the Pennsy to the B&O route across Indiana & Ohio. The footage from January to March was filmed with a Sony BMC-110 BetaMovie Camcorder and from then on was with a Panasonic OmniMovie VHS Camcorder.

Thanks for watching!
