Just like older humans, reduced to yard service. This one began on L&N. Note the builders plate intact and an older type headlight housing.

Looking so fresh in its "stealth" scheme this recent Erie grad is departing the east yard with the "Loyall Turn", "headin to the hollers".

The Jacksonville bound deadhead move of the CSX Derby train slows to a crawl as they enter the north end of the yard at Corbin. They will change crews and fuel all three engines before continuing ... (more)

Empty and loaded coal trains - each led by one of L&N's 1200-class SD40s - pass on the double track just north of Corbin. Don't know what power is trailing 1239, but 1232 is assisted by 3,000hp C... (more)

L&N Alco C430 2260 was on its fourth and last road number when photographed in yard service (with a slug built from an RS-3) at Corbin in 1980. The unit was built as Alco demonstrator 430-3 in 196... (more)
