Amtrak, Conrail, & Norfolk Southern at Butler, IN - Fall 1989

This was all filmed in the morning hours. I don’t have much in the way of details for this footage, but my notes are below. For the time of day, it’s a safe bet that the Conrail stack trains are TV-200 and TV-201. The Conrail C40-8s were pretty new at this time. The October 4 footage I uploaded on the channel about 15 years ago, so it should be of slightly better quality. Some of the Amtrak clips were in my various F40 videos, but this should hopefully provide some additional context to them. All footage is my own. This was filmed with a Sony BetaMax BMC-110 camcorder. I use Shotcut for video editing - https://www.shotcut.org/.
