- September 29, 2018 – CSX W221-28, a loaded coke train, with Union Pacific 3031, one of the brand new EMD tier 4 units with a 12 cylinder four stroke prime mover engine, pulls out of the siding at the south end of Kelly, Ky and heads south on the Henderson Subdivision. The trailing unit, UP 7965, has died at this point so it’s a good thing that it’s downhill for awhile from this point. They were to meet someone from mechanical at the south end of Latham siding in Hopkinsville, Ky to try and restart the engine. If not they were to pickup another engine at Casky yard. – #jimstrainphotos #kentuckyrailroads #trains #nikond800 #railroad #railroads #train #railways #railway #csx #csxrailroad
- September 28, 2018 – CSX J724-28 Heads north at Hanson, Kentucky on the Henderson Subdivision with Respondek Railroad Corporation’s 415 and 2425 in tow. Both units have been at CSX’s Atkinson Yard for several months. At one time Respondek was to take over operations on the River Branch in Henderson, Ky, but last I heard that deal fell through when CSX refused to give them trackage rights. Not sure what the current status is. – #jimstrainphotos #kentuckyrailroads #trains #nikond800 #railroad #railroads #train #railways #railway #csx #csxrailroad
