Eastern Railroad Discussion > NS - ISRR Coal Trains & NS 8103Date: 01/29/15 06:44 NS - ISRR Coal Trains & NS 8103 Author: jtar463 A friend reported that the N&W Heritage unit was interchanged with the Indiana Southern Railroad at Beehunter, IN last night. I assume this train is going to the Edwardsport, IN coal gasification plant but I'm not sure. Does anyone have information on this train? I thought most of the coal for Edwardsport came from Bear Run mine on the INRD. Any new information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It ran over the ISRR to Elnora where it got on the INRD. It was handed off to the INRD at Beehunter for loading at Bear Run. After loading it'll return same routing to the NS at AWW.
And yes all coal for the Edwardsport plant comes from Bear Run but it uses 100 car sets pulled by 4 ISRR locomotives.
