Look at this,

That is taken in Indiana if I’m not mistake on the Chicago/Deshler line?
that’s one hell of a picture of one hell of a bridge. where in the midwest would something like that exist?
I betcha it’s the approach to the Ohio River Bridge near Evansville, IN. The Q645 runs from Chicago south to Nashville every day, and the only body of water I can think of that has a flood plain that large on that route is the Ohio River.
looks pretty impressive anyway
You have it Nathan. Just north of Henderson, Kentucky.

Another Hoosier thread.[:)]
Now that is a world class WEDGIE.

yes it is evensville IN i railfan there.
CSXT is in a fog right now and has no idea what they are doing or where they are going. If they wanted to be a good railroad they would not have had any part of CONRAIL because they could not handle they aftermath.

…That is a great picture of the CSX bridge…but boy it’s time to get out the paint.
That would make a killer spot for a p.r. photo (and also one for making a life-size train look like a model train [;)]).
If you look the 3rd engine is a mp15 talk about running anything to get the tonnage moving.
I’ve hear many people mention CSX as something special. Since I’m not from US, can someone explain to me, what is so special about CSX?
I highly doubt that unit is running. More than likely some yards’ switch engine going to get a regular inspection.
The mp15 is capable of track speed running. It was designed as a dual purpose locomotive. It has blomberg style trucks and is normally geared for track speeds. UP still has a bunch in service and the Rock Island’s were geared for 74 mph and in fact at the last timetable still allowed 65 mph.
Your right that is one heck of a picture very cool
Wow.
Makes me proud to be a Hoosier.

That is one AWESOME picture[:D]!!!
Will anyone answer my question that I posted above?
What makes CSX so special?
CSX is no more or more less special than any other railroad, unless you are a CSX fan. I think the purpose of the thread is the bridge and the unusual angle of the photograph. Although I am an SP fan, I do like CSXT’s yellow, blue, and gray paint scheme, not the latest on though.
