Nostalgia & History > CK&S at Knightstown IN (ex NYC trackage) AUG 30 1991Date: 08/02/15 08:09 CK&S at Knightstown IN (ex NYC trackage) AUG 30 1991 Author: krm152 The NYC had a line from Anderson to North Vernon. From there, they utilized B&O trackage rights to Jeffersonville then over their own tracks and bridge into Louisville.
By the time I had taken these photos on Aug 30, 1991, other than possibly a seven mile Anderson - Emporia segment, the only remaining part of this former NYC line was a disconnected five mile Knightstown - Carthage segment operated as the Carthage, Knightstown & Shirley Railroad, a tourist operation. This little operation shut down about two years ago. Amazingly, it had lasted for around twenty-five years. Bing and Google satellite images indicate tracks are still in and some equipment is on the property. ALLEN Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/01/22 14:36 by krm152.
