CSX M648 with the Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad (CE&I) heritage unit leading heads north from Evansville, Indiana on the CSX Evansville Terminal Subdivision on October 26th, 2024. Here it's passing under the pedestrian overpass for Mead Johnson at Evansville and on the subdivision that the CE&I originally ran on, between Evansville, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois. According to the CSX Website: July 26, 2024 - CSX has unveiled its 17th heritage locomotive, paying tribute to the historic Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad. This locomotive is part of CSX's ongoing series celebrating the rich legacy of America's railroads. The C&EI was established in 1877, initially serving as a regional line connecting Chicago with southern Illinois, St. Louis, Mo. and Evansville, Ind. Over time, it expanded its reach, becoming an important link between the Midwest and the southern United States. The C&EI played a vital role in transporting coal, agricultural products, and manufactured goods, significantly contributing to the region's economic development. In 1967, the C&EI was absorbed by the Missouri Pacific Railroad and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. In the 1980s, as CSX expanded its network, it acquired various lines and assets from other railroads, including parts of former C&EI lines that had been integrated into the Missouri Pacific. This indirect acquisition process allowed CSX to incorporate the historic routes and legacy of the C&EI into its expansive system.

In this week’s Saturday Infrared photo, we catch Nickel Plate Road 358 as it brings up the rear of the Victory Train being pulled by Nickel Plate Road steam engine 765 as they head toward Angola, Indiana on August 31st, 2024.
