Norfolk Southern 8092, 3619 and 3613 lead a loaded coal train as they pull into the west end of the yard at Princeton, Indiana on April 8th, 2023, with a loaded Duke Energy coal train, bound for the Gibson Generating Station at Edwardsport, IN.

According to Wikipedia: The Gibson Generating Station was originally built as a two-unit coal-fired power plant in 1972 by Public Service Indiana (PSI) with initial plans to build 8 units. The 1970s saw the addition of Units 3, 4. However, environmental regulations prevented the construction of the two remaining additional units in the original plan. In 1982, Unit 5 was constructed, and two more stacks were added. In the 1990s, number 4 was separated from number 3's stack, and each was given its own stack, while Units 1 and 2 continued to share a stack.
