The conductor on Norfolk Southern 3730 CSX S991 with an oversized Turbine load from Siemens Energy on a depressed flatbed prepares to do a roll-by inspection as they wait for CSX I128 to pass them toward the north end of King, at Princeton, Indiana, on the CSX CE&D Subdivision, on March 20th, 2024, with a Fracht Caboose bringing up the rear. 

B229 originated at Birmingham, AL and is headed for New Castle, PA. I caught this move just north of Evansville, IN and gave chase to Patoka, Indiana.

Northbound Norfolk Southern 3730 leads CSX S991 as they pass the old depot with an oversized Turbine load from Siemens Energy on a depressed flatbed at Princeton, Indiana, on the CSX CE&D Subdivision, on March 20th, 2024, with a Fracht Caboose bringing up the rear. 

It originated at Birmingham, AL and is headed for New Castle, PA. I caught this move just north of Evansville, IN and gave chase to Patoka, Indiana, so stay tuned as I’ll be posting more images of it next week!

The depot was built in 1875 and has been beautifully restored. Once housing the C&EI and L&N railways, it was the lifeline of commerce and transportation for the county. Passenger service was discontinued in the late 1960’s. The Princeton Train Depot is now home to the Gibson County Visitors Center and features a railway museum with a restored train caboose.

Norfolk Southern 4124 prepares to exit Duncan Hill Tunnel as it leads NS 168 westbound at Georgetown, Indiana on November 4th, 2023, on the NS Southern East District.

According to Wikipedia: The Duncan Tunnel (also known as the Edwardsville Tunnel) is a railroad tunnel in Edwardsville, Floyd County, Indiana, USA. At 4,295 feet (1,309 m) long it is the longest tunnel in Indiana, nearly a mile long. The tunnel was initially built for the Air Line, who were unable to find a suitable route over the Floyds Knobs so they decided to tunnel through them. The tunnel was completed by the Southern Railway in 1881 at a total cost of $1 million. It is currently still in use by the Norfolk Southern Railway. The tunnel passes beneath I-64 intersection #118.
