May 30, 2018 – Ft. Campbell Railroad and the US Army were nice enough to send this beautiful train set my way for my birthday this afternoon!
I figured they’d move the cargo delivered to the Ft. Campbell Wye yesterday evening by CSX off the Henderson Subdivision, sometime this afternoon. So I set out around noon in search of the train and went all the way to the yards on the post and didn’t find the power anywhere! (I’m retired Air Force so I have access, although I don’t photograph on the post.)
When I came through Hopkinsville, Ky earlier there were two strings of flats with the equipment on them and I was pretty sure they were going to pick them up today, but not until I was on the road back to Hopkinsville from Ft. Campbell, did is see USAX 6519 and 6520 heading back to the post at Oak Grove, Ky. I kinda figured they’d got past me in the tree line somewhere as the power was gone from the post at Ft. Campbell. Either way, I’m happy with my birthday shot!! – #jimstrainphotos #kentuckyrailroads #trains #nikond800 #railroad #railroads #train #railways #railway #csx #csxrailroad #militaryrailroad #ftcampbellrail #usarail
