I had just gotten out of dialysis and I stopped to grab a bite at the Mcdonald's across from Obannon. I drove over to the wye and parked in the shade to eat my lunch and saw that going north to Cincinnati,

Date: 05/13/22 07:32 Re: Colorful CSX consist Author: gregscholl Very nice photo with a colorful variety of power and the flowers make the shot. Have chased a couple of trains from Cincinnati to around Walton, but not more than that.
Saw one local northbound in the morning. So what sort of traffic is on this line? I heard they were running northbounds on the North Vernon Line, and SB on the line you shot this. Obviously thats wrong. So how many trains would go through La Grange on a given day from or to Cincinnati? Greg Scholl Date: 05/13/22 09:15 Re: Colorful CSX consist Author: srman Well it varies. Generally northbounds that head for Cincinnati will head up the LIRC to Seymour then turn east on the old B&O. However not always. CSX trains Q576 and Q574 I've seen go either way. I suppose it depends on what southbounds they have coming down the shortline. Southbounds are a sure bet but northbounds it just depends. Wild guess maybe 8-10 on the shortline in a 24 hour period southbound or northbound. Others my have a better answer.
