This locomotive 1235 (SW-1200), is used at the Port of Indiana at Mount Vernon, Indiana by Respondek for switching operations and I caught it at the Evansville Western yard on December 189th, 2023, where it is reportedly undergoing repairs. From what I can find online it used to belong to the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis (TRRA) #1235 and was acquired from them in 2008 by Respondek.

Norfolk Southern 4124 prepares to exit Duncan Hill Tunnel as it leads NS 168 westbound at Georgetown, Indiana on November 4th, 2023, on the NS Southern East District.

According to Wikipedia: The Duncan Tunnel (also known as the Edwardsville Tunnel) is a railroad tunnel in Edwardsville, Floyd County, Indiana, USA. At 4,295 feet (1,309 m) long it is the longest tunnel in Indiana, nearly a mile long. The tunnel was initially built for the Air Line, who were unable to find a suitable route over the Floyds Knobs so they decided to tunnel through them. The tunnel was completed by the Southern Railway in 1881 at a total cost of $1 million. It is currently still in use by the Norfolk Southern Railway. The tunnel passes beneath I-64 intersection #118.

Digital Art Photo - CSX Louisville and Nashville Heritage Unit 1850 leads loaded grain train G031, as it approaches CSX Howell Yard, under stormy skies, at Evansville, Indiana, on October 5th, 2023, on the CSX Evansville Terminal Subdivision. After a crew change and new train ID of G419, the loaded grain train continued its move south to Mobile, Alabama.


According to CSXT: CSX has introduced the sixth locomotive in its heritage series, a freshly painted unit honoring the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. Designated CSX 1850, the locomotive will be placed into service, carrying the L&N colors across the 20,000-mile CSX network.


The paint scheme was designed and applied at the CSX Locomotive Shop in Waycross, Georgia, which has produced all six units in the heritage series celebrating the lines that came together to form the modern CSX. Like the other heritage locomotives, the L&N unit combines the heritage railroad’s iconic logo and colors on the rear two-thirds of the engine with today’s CSX colors and markings on the cab end.


Chartered by the State of Kentucky in 1850, the L&N grew into a vital transportation link between the Gulf Coast and the nation’s heartland. The railroad was absorbed by the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad, which subsequently became part of the Chessie System and, ultimately, today’s CSX.


The CSX heritage series is reinforcing employee pride in the history of the railroad that continues to move the nation’s economy with safe, reliable, and sustainable rail-based transportation services.
