CSX 483 leads CSX Q228 passes a set of searchlight signals at MP 137.2, just east of Henderson, Kentucky on the CSX Texas Line (LH&StL Subdivision) as it as it heads west to the Toyota Plant in Princeton, Indiana from Louisville, KY on March 7th, 2022.

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.

Engineer Dale Olson keeps a watchful eye on the tracks as he backs Nevada Northern Railway engine 81 out of the engine house, past the Repair in Place (RIP) building, as it heads toward the coaling tower at Ely, Nevada on February 13th, 2022 in the early morning light. 

The Repair in place building, which is better known as the RIP, and during the ore carrying days ore cars led a very rough life, between being banged with shovels, boulders being dropped into them and wear and tear of everyday use. The RIP was built to allow repair of the cars indoors, whereas before they were repaired outdoors all year long. Today the building is used for ongoing restoration projects by the museum.

Nevada Northern No. 81 is a "Consolidation" type (2-8-0) steam locomotive that was built for the Nevada Northern in 1917 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, PA, at a cost of $23,700. It was built for Mixed service to haul both freight and passenger trains on the Nevada Northern railway.

One of the things I like about railfanning the Henderson Subdivision is because we get all kinds of interesting and different foreign power that runs up and down the line! While most of it is CSX, we do get a mix of just about every major railroad on this line at some point in time during each week. You never know when it’s coming, but when it does as with this unit, railfans gather along the tracks for their own crack at capturing their own images of the move and I’m no exception!

While you can’t control the weather for these shots, railroads operate in all kinds of weather and so I’m trackside when the train is! Hardest thing about shooting in bad weather is getting out the door in my opinion! A large golf umbrella helps a lot!!

One of the things I like about railfanning the Henderson Subdivision is because we get all kinds of interesting and different foreign power that runs up and down the line! While most of it is CSX, we do get a mix of just about every major railroad on this line at some point in time during each week. You never know when it’s coming, but when it does as with this unit, railfans gather along the tracks for their own crack at capturing their own images of the move and I’m no exception!

While you can’t control the weather for these shots, railroads operate in all kinds of weather and so I’m trackside when the train is! Hardest thing about shooting in bad weather is getting out the door in my opinion! A large golf umbrella helps a lot!!
