Norfolk Southern 4378 leads a southbound empty coal train on the Paducah and Louisville Railway at the location known as Monarch at Madisonville, Ky as a southbound CSX loaded coal train, C306, approaches, on July 29th, 2025, on the CSX Henderson Subdivision. It would have been great if the CSX had got there about 45 seconds sooner or the NS train the same later, but I’ll take it how I can get it!! I’ve been trying for some time to get trains on both tracks and while I would like for it to be the headend power on both tracks, it would be a Miracle! Watch for tomorrow afternoon’s picture of CSX 306 passing under this NS train!
