Description

A Digital Photographic Art piece from December 27, 2019 - This 600mm lens shot is of Fredonia Valley Railroad 1605 (Ex-CP Unit) as it makes it's way through a tunnel of trees, approaching the road crossing at Red Bud Trail outside Princeton, Kentucky running at about 5 mph, after dropping off a string of empties to the Fredonia Quarry. It was returning to Paducah and Louisville Railways' yard at Princeton, Ky.

This small shortline runs typically M-F with on average 1 train each way daily from what I'm told. The tracks were originally owned by West Kentucky Railway and are currently operated by Martin Marietta Aggregates' Fredonia Valley Railroad from Princeton to Fredonia, Ky and run for about 12 miles. There's no access to the quarry for photos, but plenty of spots along the highway the follows the tracks most of the way.
