Passenger Trains > Amtrak locomotives in Louisville, KyDate: 03/26/24 16:28 Amtrak locomotives in Louisville, Ky Author: wa4umr My son saw these at Osborn Yard (CSX) in Louisville, Ky. Does anyone have any idea what they would be doing there?
John  Date: 03/26/24 16:36 Re: Amtrak locomotives in Louisville, Ky Author: srman Just a guess. They may have been dropped off from the PAL. I have seen a few times Amtrak locos brought from Paducah sitting in the PAL yard. The PAL transfer may have brought them to CSX for further distribution.

Or getting more of them?
