Description
CSXT 5499 leads W995 through the crossing on West Center Street in downtown Madisonville, Kentucky as it heads north on the Henderson Subdivision with a General Electric high and wide load on September 13th, 2021.
These trains can take a long time to get from point A to Z as they are restricted normally to 25mph as their max speed when loaded and 5-10mph through turnouts. There is a GE crew on the caboose and their job is to watch and if needed shift the load to either side by a distance of 12 inches to allow clearance for passing trains or other obstacles.
Always an easy and interesting train to chase in my book! I had planned to chase it to Henderson, KY, but the crew ran out of their day and had to tie the train down at Hanson, but I still got a video and a couple of good shots between Nortonville and Hanson! It was a good day trackside!
