Heritage Series Early CSX Changing Times on the West End DVD
The early years of CSX Transportation are the focus of this program in The Heritage Series, featuring scenes of railroading that can never be experienced again.
When the Chessie System and the Seaboard System were combined, the new railroad had two routes into East St Louis: the former Louisville & Nashville line from Louisville and the former Baltimore & Ohio line from Cincinnati. For a number of years, through trains were routed over both routes before being shifted onto the former B&O.
Engines painted in several predecessor roads are seen, including Chessie System, Seaboard System, Family Lines, Louisville & Nashville and Baltimore & Ohio. The are joined by engines painted in three different CSX schemes.
Neither of these lines see traffic for St Louis today, with the L&N severed west of Oakawville, Illinois, and the B&O out of service entirely.
The Heritage Series features railroads as they were, from fallen flags to steam locomotives in excursion service that are no longer in operation today.
