Freight meets passenger at Strasburg as their SW8 waits between assignments, coupled up to a cut of hoppers while the 89 brings a passenger train into town.
The 3PM train approaches a spring switch guarded by a position light indicator as they pass the growing transload freight operation and arrive back in Strasburg.
Sitting just past the depot in French Lick is this 2-6-0 steam locomotive. This engine was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1925 for the Mobile & Gulf Railroad.
