Kansas City Southern 4841 and 4150 lead CSX S864 south at Kelly, Kentucky on the Henderson Subdivision

Kansas City Southern 4841 and 4150 lead CSX S864 as it pulls into the siding at the north end of Kelly siding with a loaded military train at Kelly, Kentucky on the Henderson Subdivision on March 8th, 2022. I understand S is one of the new designations which indicates a “Special Move” which used to be W Series trains.

CSX S864 (Rose Lake, IL – Hopkinsville, Ky) was returning the military equipment to Ft. Campbell, who picked the train up at Hopkinsville and then Ft. Campbell rail took it onto the post.

CSX 483 leads CSX Q228 westbound across the CSX Swing Bridge over the Green River at Spottsville, Kentucky on the CSX Texas Line (LH&StL Subdivision) as it makes its way to the Toyota Plant at Princeton, Indiana from Louisville, KY on March 7th, 2022. This bridge was shut down for well over a year due to mechanical problems which has now been repaired. It reopened about two weeks ago and CSXT has picked up the contract from Toyota at Princeton, Indiana over Norfolk Southern who had it before. CSX currently runs two through trains daily along the line and it has been open now for about two weeks. It also sees several locals as well. While the bridge was shut down trains were pretty much just locals between Louisville and Henderson, Ky (where the Texas line runs). According to Wikipedia: The LH&STL Subdivision is a railroad line owned by CSX Transportation in the U.S. state of Kentucky. It was originally built as the Louisville, Henderson, and Texas Railway in 1882, with the intent of building a line to Texas by way of St. Louis, Missouri. It was nicknamed "The Texas Line," by which it is still often referred today. The line fell into bankruptcy and was reorganized as the Louisville, Henderson, and St. Louis Railway in 1896. The rail line was acquired by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in 1929; the parent company still exists and holds other rail-related assets. Through a series of mergers, the line is now operated by CSX. The line runs from Louisville, Kentucky, to Henderson, Kentucky, for a total of 136.5 miles (219.7 km). At its east end the line continues west from the Louisville Terminal Subdivision, and at its west end the line continues west as the Henderson Subdivision of the Nashville Division. According to Bridge Hunter: The CSX Spottsville Swing Bridge is a through truss swing bridge over the Green River, which was formerly owned by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. It was originally built in 1888 by the Keystone Bridge Co of Pittsburg, PA and then reconstructed in 1926.
