With CSXT 3230 leading, Q503 pulls through downtown Sebree, Kentucky on its daily run between Chicago, IL and Radnor Yard at Nashville, TN as it heads south on the Henderson Subdivision, on a cold winters afternoon on January 27th, 2022.
From Wikipedia: Sebree was founded as a railroad town in 1868, just ahead of the arrival of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in October. The town founders, William Scott and Col. E.G. Sebree, intended to name it Springdale after nearby natural springs, but the name was preempted by another community in Mason County. The post office was initially named McBride but renamed for Col. Sebree (the first president of the St. Bernard Mining Company) in 1870 for his assistance in bringing the railroad to this part of the state.
The L&N depot was on the eastern side of the track and furnished with day and night operators. At one time, Sebree was home to some 40 businesses, hotels, shops, and stores. The first nondenominational church was erected in 1870. It was quickly followed by Methodist, Catholic, and Baptist churches. The town was also home to Sebree Springs, a summer resort and park operated by G.L. Dial. Telephone service arrived in 1895, and several tobacco factories were also built.
