Louisville & Nashville U23B #2817 was built February 1975 and later became CSX #3318

Just south of the junction at Amqui, an SD40-2 in the new number series and FL scheme leads a stealth U30C and an SDP35 - also in FL colors - with coal loads.

The engineer gives a shout-out to a signal maintainer as his hopper train - led by a trio of U23Bs and a GP40 - rumbles through Jemison.

A mix of the old and the new can be seen in this string of idling L&N power. Tom Golden photo.

The end of steam on the L&N was near when Baldwin M-1 1962 (one of 42 engines in that class, nicknamed "Big Emmas" by their crews) takes on coal at Ravenna after being turned. This was a Cincinnat... (more)
