EVWR empty coal waits to depart Sitran Dock at West Franklin, IN

April 4. 2018 – A Evansville Western Railway empty coal train sits at the SITRAN Coal transfer facility, in the golden glow of the setting sun. In the background putting out all the steam is the  Green Plains Bioenergy plant at West Franklin, Indiana. The Sitran Terminal was commissioned in April 2012 and is owned by Foresight Energy. It is capable of receiving up to 150 car trains from mines originating on the EVWR, NS, CSX and BN Railroads via the Evansville Western Railroad. The facility can store 1 million tons of coal. – #jimstrainphotos #indianarailroads #trains #nikond800 #railroad #railroads #train #railways #railway #evwr #evwrrailway #coaltrain
