Description
Norfolk Southern railway Savannah & Atlanta 1065 Heritage Unit leads NS 167 as it passes the restored depot at Princeton, Indiana, on its way east along the NS East-West District on December 3rd, 2021. This unit completes my goal of photographing all the 20 NS Heritage units!
According to the NS Website: Savannah & Atlanta Railway (SR, EMD) began life as the Brinson Railway in 1906, slowly expanding from Savannah toward the Northwest. It was consolidated with other small railroads to become the Savannah & Atlanta in 1917. Central of Georgia bought the S&A in 1951.
According to the Gibson County website: Constructed in 1875 and beautifully restored, the Princeton Depot is the only remaining depot structure in Gibson County. Once housing the C&EI and L&N railways, it was the lifeline of commerce and transportation for the county. Passenger service was discontinued from the depot in late 1960. Today the depot stands as a nostalgic reminder of the importance railroads have played in Gibson County�s history.
The Princeton Train Depot is now home to the Gibson County Visitors Center and features a railway museum with a restored WABASH train caboose.
