Northbound Norfolk Southern 9730 leads CSX S991 as they pass the old depot with an oversized Turbine load from Siemens Energy on a depressed flatbed at Princeton, Indiana, on the CSX CE&D Subdivision, on March 20th, 2024, with a Fracht Caboose bringing up the rear.
It originated at Birmingham, AL and is headed for New Castle, PA. I caught this move just north of Evansville, IN and gave chase to Patoka, Indiana, so stay tuned as I’ll be posting more images of it next week!
The depot was built in 1875 and has been beautifully restored. Once housing the C&EI and L&N railways, it was the lifeline of commerce and transportation for the county. Passenger service was discontinued in the late 1960s. The Princeton Train Depot is now home to the Gibson County Visitors Center and features a railway museum with a restored train caboose.
