PRIMARY CHANNEL 84

Monon Subdivision CSX Road 84 (161.37) mileposts 72.3-148.3 (Rensselaer to Elmore). Amtrak Cardinal train 51runs Monday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings, roughly scheduled Lafayette at 8 AM. Cardinal train 50  into Lafayette between 10 PM and midnight on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. There is a central/eastern time zone change between the Rensselaer and Lafayette Amtrak stops (a mile or so west of Lee).

Lafayette station is at MP 120.1. There is a rail fan camera just north of the Lafayette Amtrak station.  The URL changes often on U-Tube so we do not link it here. Amtrak is often late due to their own equipment malfunctions and staffing issues. CSX freights also delay Amtrak because they are prioritized by CSX and may be too long for sidings. Longer freights also break down more frequently, blocking this single track railroad.
