Burnham, IL & Hammond, IN Trains 1986-1987

NS, CSS&SB, IHB, CSX, Amtrak, and Conrail. Several “bottle” (hot metal) trains are seen in these videos, as they were frequent users of the Conrail SC&S line - the Bernice Cutoff. The Amtrak trains have appeared in some of my previous videos, but this will hopefully provide some additional context for them. Amtrak ran on the SC&S from Bernice to Colehour Jct. Note that from April 27, 1986 to October 25, 1987 Amtrak referred to 317/318 (as well as 50/51) as “The Cardinal.” Here are the schedule references: http://www.timetables.org/full.php?gr... http://www.timetables.org/full.php?gr... http://www.timetables.org/full.php?gr... If you have the book "Amtrak in the Heartland" by Craig Sanders, this is discussed on page 215. Burnham was the crossing of the Conrail (SC&S), C&WI, NS (NKP), CSS&SB, & B&OCT. At this time a C&WI single track was still in place, but was not used. The crossover that went over the NKP diamond once allowed the C&WI access to the B&OCT yard. The original Burnham tower (ex-PRR) had burned down about a decade earlier and at this time was a trailer, staffed by Conrail. The old tower was between the C&WI and the NKP, just west of the SC&S diamond. Also, at this time the South Shore Hegewisch station was a little further west than the current one. Burnham & State Line are just over a mile apart from each other. By this time State Line Tower was just a shell of its glory days. Despite this it was still in operation, armstrong levers and all.
