The Bituminous Kole Indiana Variety Show

Like what you see and want to support? Filling the tank is my biggest expense. 60,000 miles in the last 12 months! https://buymeacoffee.com/bituminouskole Have some fun, get a Cameo video from me! https://www.cameo.com/bituminouskole?... The Indiana variety line up: A meet of NS 8099- the Southern Heritage Unit- and NS 8103- the Norfolk & Western HU! At Tipton of all places! The Norfolk Southern merger partners- not found at Roanoke, nor at Spencer. Tipton! This train also had two Union Pacific units as mid-train distributed power. Next- Follow ups on the flood damage sustained by the Whitewater Valley Railroad, showing volunteers cleaning up coaches, ballast replacement, and a look at the amazing Lima-Hamilton locomotive that was luckily on jacks when the floodwaters raced through. The impacts are huge, but not life ending for this preservation organization and excursion line. The never say die attitude is everywhere on site! Interview with Andy Schwering to announce an "Adopt-A-Washout" program. Interview with Rob Roberts in the shops to discuss mechanical impacts, and plans for action to get trains back in action.

Many, MANY viewers commented on the last video to instruct that Rushville's CSX line running down the center of the road is NOT proper street running. Elwood's is. Met there with the Mayor of Elwood Street Running, The Railroad Tie Spiker. We talked about possible upcoming track repair at this location.    / @therailroadtiespiker   Staying on the Frankfort Sub, and back to Tipton, we have an empty Norfolk Southern grainer heading for a tie-down at Tipton's yard. It runs past that Southern unit! So long as the Southern unit is extending its residency at Tipton, you may want to visit to chase the unit. Find a railfanning guide for local Train L85 posted herewith. L85 is seen departing the yard at Frankfort, crossing the diamond with CSX (ex-PRR!) and passing the Christmas Tree signal tower. From there, I flew over the now former roundhouse at Frankfort. The ex-Nickel Plate structure has been completely leveled, leaving only the foundation, pits, and turntable as evidence that it once stood there. Happier exits: a CSX intermodal wizzes by Fortville at 60mph, and a drive-by catch of NS Trian 123 at sunset.
