Kentucky and Southern Indiana 2014 - JL Scott

Empty hoppers head south through St. John on a snowy evening behind one of everything on the P&L roster - SD70MAC, geep, mother/slug.

An extra job assembles a southbound empty hopper train at Kosmosdale with a pair of fresh painted SD70MAC's and a mother/slug.

Empty hopper train tied down in "Early Times Siding" at Shively with painted and patched MAC's.

Parked at Oak Street Yard.

The LCL2 crew assembles a locomotive consist at Shively, including PAL 2013 during its first visit to Louisville. The special scheme commemorates the University of Louisville Cardinals' 2013 victory as the NCAA Men's Basketball National Champions. Built August 1997 as CSXT 706, the unit would later become CSXT 4506 and eventually PAL 4506 when it was acquired by P&L Transportation in early 2013. Finally, the unit emerged from VMV as PAL 2013 during mid February 2014.

Three mother/slugs and a GP40-2 head south through Black Rock with empties from Mill Creek. With seven 4-axles, chasing this train just seemed like the right thing to do. Traditional PAL consists like this one are becoming increasingly rare with the "new" SD70MAC's on the scene. Enjoy it while it lasts!

A trio of P&L MAC's leads a northbound Cane Run train through St. John on a typical muggy afternoon in central KY.

CSX Q573 heads south on the LCL Subdivision behind a pair of older UP AC units.

Men polish the ornate steam 'gen down to the last detail in preparation of her Labor Day weekend duties on the Bluegrass Railroad Museum's "Lincoln Civil War Train". I showed up several hours early hoping to get some decent mid morning "builder's photos" and was pleased to find this unobstructed view of her sitting in perfect sun.

Leviathan rolls west at Canebreak Farm during Labor Day weekend "Lincoln Civil War Train" festivities at the Bluegrass Railroad Museum. This is actually a going away shot, with N&W 675 on the other end pulling the train out to Milner.
