October 27, 2016 – CSX Rail Train, W021-26 drops rail at the south end of Romney siding as it works its way north towards Nortonville, Ky on the Henderson Subdivision. CSX is preparing to double track from the crossing on the south end of Romney Siding to the north end of Nortonville siding. They will also double track from the south end of Sebree, Ky to the north end of Robards, Ky. Tracks at both locations will become main 1 and 2. I was told yesterday that construction should be getting underway in the next few months.
