Eastern Railroad Discussion > RJ Corman locomotive on the move

Today I was in Greencastle Indiana to take pictures of the former Big 4 passenger depot in town when a westbound CSX freight caught me by surprise .  Behind units powering the train was a RJ Corman Tunnel Motor tucked in for the ride.  It went by so fast that I didn't even have time to take a picture.  I was just wondering if anyone knew where it was headed or why it was on the move.  This is the former NYC/Conrail/CSX main line between Indianapolis and St. Louis. Greencastle is about 28 rail miles west of Avon Yard.

The word I’ve read on it is it came from RjC’s Cleveland Lines and is going to the Carolina lines.

Well, I believe it. When they shipped my caboose from Hamlet, NC to Connersville, IN, they sent it to Nashville, TN and up to Terre Haute and then back east. The most direct route is not apparently a consideration these days.

Full initials are RJCP if anyone can trace.
