C&O: (Satellite)

| Muncie Railroad Preservation Society posted New York Central EMD E7A #4026 with 2 others stopped at Union Station in Muncie, Indiana July, 1968 John E Lacefield: Wysor street station? Jim Kelling: John E Lacefield no, South Walnut street; Wysor street has the former C&O station which is restored. Bill Edrington: Nice shot. This would be #316, the remnant of the Cleveland Special, enroute from Indianapolis to Cleveland with mail in Flexi-Vans and a coach for whatever passengers showed up. |

| Muncie Railroad Preservation Society posted New York Central EMD NW2 #8807 at Muncie Union Station, 1968. At midnight on February 1, 1968, the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central Railroad merged. This was the largest merger to date: It created America's sixth-largest corporation and the nation's largest transportation company. Muncie Railroad Preservation Society shared |
NKP/LE&W was on the north side of Union Station, and NYC was on the south side. This map does not mark the location of the C&O depot even though there is room.

As "trailhead" implies, the C&O route is now abandoned, and the route is used by the Cardinal Greenway.

The railroad next to the trail at the depot that we see on the right in the above view is a connector between LE&W's north/south and east/west routes through town.
