Eastern Railroad Discussion > csx officer special p940

coming down the short line into louisville as i type. should be in louisville around 1500. it will travel on to nashville this afternoon. i think it is a p940, not really for sure. watch out for cinder dick's if you come out to take photos. thanks, the hogger

It passed LaGrange around 1535 or so. Hope you got it too mobileunit & thanks for the info. Here is my report:

Since it has come and gone, I guess I can report on it per our Special Notice above. CSX P960-18 operated with the following consist:

CSXT 5918
CSXT 7830

Office Cars:
Massachusetts
Michigan
Greenbrier
New York
West Virginia
Youngstown
Kentucky
Washington

The CSX F40's were laid up for repairs at Waycross. 9993 is now on the former C&O with another operation. 9992 was at JAX. I caught todays train at Hamilton, OH, Hartwell (near Cincinnati), KC Jct. in Covington, Ky., Verona, Sparta, Campbellsburg, and LaGrange, Ky. The weather was perfect, except for a big milky cloud zapping me at Hartwell. Not much of a shot anyway, so no big loss.

As per security, I was challenged by a CSX employee while standing on public property (not trespassing), but it was likely because he mistakenly thought I was an official. I was asked what I was doing by a county police officer in Campbellsburg, but all he did was get his own camera out upon learning what was on the way :-) I never set foot on railroad property or any other private property except for the farm north of Sparta, whose owner is a railfan and was standing next to me at the time. Great day!
