Conrail Winter - Part 1 of 7

Photographer Rich Scheild's professional digital camera captures the last winter for Conrail and the worst in Conrail's history. Taped on the Dearborn Division, where 32 inches of snow fell in just a few days. Operations came to a halt with switches snow covered and frozen. We visit locations in Michigan and Ohio along the Detroit to Toledo line and on the Michigan line which runs from Detroit to Chicago.
