Spencerville & Elgin RR RIP 1998

This is a tour of the Spencerville & Elgin shortline that was under the operation of RJ Corman by this time. These tracks were once the Erie Lackawanna. Our first scene is South Lima, OH, where the line crosses the CSX ex-B&O Toledo Sub and NS's ex-NKP Lima District. Note that the track jogs over to use the eastbound main.

At 0:28 we see Spencerville, OH, which has an old depot, that was once the headquarters for the SPEG. Note that the tracks in a good shape and has been had the overgrown cut back. Also, RJ Corman installed block signs at various locations along the route.

0:45 is Elgin, OH, and we see an RJ Corman GP9 sitting under the grain elevator.

1:03 is Ohio City, and the SPEG Alco S4 and North American boxcar are gone; likely scrapped. :o(

Thanks for the video. The engines and box car were scrapped on site. I took pictures before and after they were scrapped. I went to Ohio City after they were scrapped. They were cut up where they sat. Pieces of them were laying around on the ground.
