Nostalgia & History > Not What I Was Hoping to See 1987Date: 04/23/17 10:11 Not What I Was Hoping to See 1987 Author: krm152 On Tuesday, April 28, 1987 I was railfanning through nearby New Albany IN hoping to see a SOO Line freight come trundling south along 15th Street. When the crossing lights lit up and the bells rang, I was definitely excited. The bad news was it was not the SOO. The goods news was that it was not a false alarm; it was a train, a southbound CSX freight led by a former SCL unit.

Thanks for posting this. Bob Date: 04/23/17 15:09 Re: Not What I Was Hoping to See 1987 Author: jphjaxfl322 That's the former Monon line used by Amtrak's Floridian until 1979. I remember riding in Engineer's seat in the Dome car on that stretch numerous times.
