CSX Lima Ohio Diamond 2015

This video program is about the CSX diamond in Lima Ohio in the year 2015. At one time, this "former" hot spot was the crossroads of the Pennsylvania's Pittsburgh to Chicago Mainline and the B&O's Cincinnati to Toledo Subdivision. Today, CSX owns both the east-west, north-south lines at this location. CSX leases the previous Pennsylvania, Penn Central, Conrail line to the CFE (Chicago, Ft. Wayne, & Eastern) Regional Railroad. CSX operates the previously owned B&O / Chessie System tracks that carries traffic from north to south. Due to heavy train congestion in Chicago, Norfolk - Southern has obtained trackage rights from CSX to run 4-6 eastbound trains per day on the old Ft. Wayne liine and these trains are primarily loaded oil trains from the Bakken oil shale fields in North Dakota and Montana. You'll see a couple of those trains in this video. Primarily the action in this video are CSX trains moving between Cincinnati and Toledo. You will see a wide variety of foreign power such as CN, CP, British Columbia, BNSF, SP, CF&E, Toledo, Peoria and Western, Missouri and North Arkansas, several leased units, NS and of course CSX. The recently painted NS 3170, painted in the original Southern paint scheme will make a cameo appearance on a local NS train. Consists will be compromised of oil shale, ethanol, grain, auto racks, double stacks, coal and manifest trains. Both aerial and ground cameras are used in this video to give the viewer exciting and different perspectives of the action at this diamond. Approx 80 minutes with full color, sound and narration with on-screen graphics showing train symbols
