Calling all Conrail fans!
Hi I am CSXT 4617 (named after the CSX diesel that wore C&O paint) and I was wondering what is the name of the former Conrail line to Trainer Yard, near Chester, Pennsylvania. I believe it's the Conrail Chester Secondary. But, I think the line was given to Norfolk Southern after the Conrail break up. But, I see CSX power, so I'm baffled. This line also parallels the SEPTA R1 Airport Line from near the Northeast Corridor to just beyond the SEPTA Eastwick Station. So, can anyone tell me what the name of that line is and why Conrail (or whomever owns the line) has to wait to access the part where R1 Regional Rail trains merge in? I know, because in 2006, I saw an ex-Conrail Special Duty (SD) type diesel with a Norfolk Southern Special Duty (SD) unit with a freight train waiting to access the line. But I have seen Union Pacific power on the line (I haven't seen one since 2006.) with coal train service with a Norfolk Southern unit. Besides the name of the line, can someone tell me how many trains use the railroad line? Thanks, I'd really appreciate this.
With regards,
CSXT 4617
