ValleyX. OOPS!!!! That was a typeo it should be 90-100 trains on the Buffalo to Syracuse. Now it is 50-90 with CSX.

[cr6479]

Conrail ran or moved alot of freight.

trainfan1221. Conrail had 50-100 train a day on the west shore line and now there is 0-25 trains a day on the the west shore line.

WHAT! No, no, no. Try ~30. CSX is, and has been running a similar amount.

More malarky......

The ONLY places Conrail ever got close to 90 trains a day was on the west end of the Pittsburgh line and west of Elkhart on the Chicago Line. The east end of the Chicago line had about 50-60 trains a day.

NS is running slightly lighter on the west end of the Chicago line than Conrail did. About the same on the Pittsburgh line. CSX is doing about the same volume on the east end of the Chicago Line.

At the beginning, yes. At the end, no - because of mergers between other roads. CSX, NS, BNSFand UP all ran more trains than Conrail in the 1990s.

Chinatown, and everyone else for that matter -
You are all welcome. Anyone else that wants to see more, let me know, or if you want to, and the easiest way, is just to do a 'Google' search on Conrail, and or CSX. Also, use the sites such as railserve.com, railfan.net, and trainweb.org
