CSX 914 travels through the expansive flood plain with the fields full of corn and soybeans, as CSX loaded grain train heads south out of Evansville, Indiana on the Henderson Subdivision on July 14th, 2022. Here they are staring the climb up the viaduct over the Ohio River to Henderson, Kentucky, and points south. During the rainy season much of this area as far as the eye can see is prone to floodwaters from the Ohio River. This is a favorite area for me and many other railfans to chase and photograph trains because of the uniqueness of the long viaduct which is right at 4.5 miles long. The viaduct and bridge over the river were built by the L&N railroad and were dedicated on the last day of 1932 at a cost about $4 million. It replaced one that was erected in 1885, also built by the L&N, and at that time was the longest channel span of that type in the world at 2.3 miles long.
