My very elderly Mother and I were talking some time ago, and she mentioned that altho she has lived her whole life within earshot of the old B&O mainline, she has never rode that section. She's too old to get into a boxcar :-), and I don't even know it Amtrak runs thru there anymore (last I knew, it went thru about 4AM). She lives near Sherwood, Ohio. I have asked before on other forums with no luck, but this one seems like a good bet.

Does anyone know of a video- preferably an in-cab video - that covers this stretch of the CSX Garret - Willard section?

A gentleman from Ann Arbor produced a video on that exact segment in 2001. It's normally sold through the railfan park in Deshler but I can dig up his contact information for you if you're interested. Green Frog also produced a video covering Deshler to Willard a few years ago and more information should be on their webpage. Neither contain any in-cab footage, however.
