Is this is the old Pennsy mainline today?

[SkyhawkACE123]

yes it is

[Grapes767]

@ConrailSD70MAC

yup that would be it. A true travesty! The Broadway Limited used to go thru at 70+ MPH along a two track mainline.

[Grapes767]

@ConrailSD70MAC

that would be correct..the former route of " The Broadway Limited" ..mainline used to be 70 mph Chicago to Crestline, Ohio

[Grapes767]

@ConrailSD70MAC It would have to be.. What a shame from what it once was.

@ma7799 The Hoosier Heartland Corridor. It is supposed to run from Lafayette, IN to Fort Wayne, IN when finished. The Logansport-Lafayette stretch is scheduled to be done as late as 2013. Part of that stretch will straddle a Norfolk Southern main line, I'm told.

@SkyhawkACE123 Yup it once hosted the Broadway limited and some other PRR fast passenger trains back in the day... Hard to belive, but some of them ran 100+ MPH on these rails.

Heartland Corridor?

This line may be revived if the Heartland Corridor gets up and running.

Horrible horn? Lol, that's a 3rd Generation PM920 with Leslie RS heads on it, and internal valves! excellent catch!

[ConrailSD70MAC]

that two-three track mainline of the old Broadway LImited really has fallen apart! Conrail really downgraded that Pennsy track during the late 80's-early 90's.
