A gallery of images from CSX’s new Casky Inspection Yard at Hopkinsville, Ky

- A few shots from a tour I got with some friends of the new Casky inspection yard at Hopkinsville, Ky the day before they opened to trains. Still a lot of work left to do, but it’s open and serviced it’s first trains on June 26, 2015 by the fine folks working there. Ballaster at work looking back toward the car barn.
