The time frame of this video takes place in 1993 and 1995.
The Canadian National North America, the parent company of the Grand Trunk, was desperately trying to spin off their former DT&I Gateway to Cincinnati Line.
“The Good Track Road: did not apply in this era. In 1995 most of the track was slow-ordered to cut their losses to a minimum. Ties, ballast, and rail replacement were non-existent. Only if something on the right-of-way was broken or presented a hazard was the plant repaired.
One of the benefits of this slow-order program was that it gave railfans more opportunity to photograph the same train in numerous locations. Neff Video was able to capture more runbys than normal during this period.
Most of the action in Volume 5 of the DT&I/GT Series takes place between Fairborn and Hamler, Ohio. Other locations included are: Enon, Snyderville, Maitland, Tremont, Thackery, Quincy, St. Johns, Sugar Street (Lima), DT&I Jct., Columbus Grove, Ottawa, and Leipsic.
Ninety minutes, color, sound, on-screen graphics depict locations and train symbols and no narration.
