CSX Kentucky Derby Train chase - May 4th, 2024

On Derby weekend, my friends and I followed CSX P001, the Kentucky Derby Train from Frankfort, KY to Louisville, KY. It was a great chase, and my first time following it to various spots, and more countryside shots this time. It really is different to see this train in its new B&O paint scheme. Interesting enough, This was taken on May 4th. Just five years prior, we were out getting the same train on the same date, a few of the same folks were with us for both, different paint schemes. Hope you all enjoy! This was a fun chase.
For quite a while, CSX has run this special train on Derby weekend from Lexington to Louisville, KY bringing special VIP's on board as well as the governor. When the video taken in Bagdad comes up, you can see an unmarked Chevy SUV with police lights flashing, appearing to escort the train. I did not get this part on video, but as we packed up here, we were about to cross the main road, when they stopped traffic to let the train pass by, which tells me the governor was on board.
