Not sure who chartered it, but the CSX business train is sitting in Rupp Yard right now. It's visible from Main Street. I heard it come in on the scanner...
Here's the video of the northbound CSX Business Train heading to Louisville for the Derby as it passed Franklin Ky at MP 134 just after 9am Thursday 4/30/09....
I understand that CSX is operating their train for their own people and purposes this year from Lexington to Louisville. Their train will board in Midway on...
Any idea roughly of when the train will depart Midway? ... From: Thomas Bookout <tbookout82@...> Subject: RE: [KY Railfan] Derby Train To: "kentucky...
Should be about 8am out of Midway for CSX. Corman out of Lexington around 9am. Evening departures from Louisville should begin around 7:30pm. Schedules...

I don't know the answer to that question - don't know if the L&N ever called it anything other than Lexington Yard, either. I would imagine the name might...
Under CSX the yard was in the Rupp DTC Block. Under RJCC they converted the Rupp DTC Block to the Lexington-Rupp Yard Limits. Operating under Yard Limits...
Due to a downturn in busines VMV is laying off 41 workers at its Paducah, KY, shops. No word when these layoffs will begin. After these layoffs occur about...
Rumor has it Progress rail (literally down us45 from them) is still looking for help and has a full order book. Also genset production has moved out of...
Which train is using a pair of Amtrack engines? I think the numbers were 110 and 24. Is this the "Genset"? They were sitting on the siding at Louisville...
I would imagine it happened when CSX took out the CTC signalling system and started using blocks assigned by the dispatcher. I'm pretty sure I've heard CSX...
They are indeed 110 and 24. They appear to be ordinary P42s. Does anyone know when they're scheduled to leave? Mike Harpe [Non-text portions of this message...

I went out this morning in the cold rain to shoot the CSX and R.J. Corman Derby trains on the former CSX Old Road. Clouds, Rain, FP7's, F40's if you like that...
I misspoke... replace "CTC" with "signaling system". I do know the difference in CTC and block signals but from visual inspection,I don't know what L&N/CSX...
In the mid to late 90s when the Old Road was still under CSX control, the DTC blocks were as follows: HK Tower, Lewis, Frankfort, Cliffside, Jett, McKee,...
I am going to say the signals were removed about 10 years ago. The signal on the east end of the Kentucky River Bridge is still there, the head has been...
The signal system under L&N operation was an ABS system that showed whether the block ahead was occupied or not. I believe train movements were governed by...
