When I was a kid living in Newark Delaware in the 80's these would always come through with various Chessie loco's I remember seeing the L&N pass quickly by being confused thinking it was a Seaboard Coast Line engine those two paint schemes are so close.
CSX now runs L&N RAILROAD. It's so much fun to watch the history of the old Railroad Company. Started in the 1800's. Their Rail lines are still around this city. Awesome 🌝👍
My brother in-law worked for the L&N from the late 50's to the mid 90's. I spent many a day at the L&N golf course in the early 60's to the 70's....What a great time being in the pool watching the trains....and that is when there was still the Pan and Hummingbird around.
Excellent footage! Boy do I miss the uniqueness and the bad ass RS5T horns with those manual values. Never thought they’d be gone. These new train horns sound like constipated cows.
That was the funnest eras of railroading. Power lash ups from all the former lines and old rolling stock that for a time seemed to be getting extra use before it all disappeared. I lived close to the main to Chicago in southern Indiana and it was common for a few years to see them double head the trailer train to Chicago on Sunday afternoon along with many other unusual consist. 6-12 units of every name and era all mixed together, even road slugs and yard switchers thrown in for main line power. Some you would see over and over for awhile, others I'm sure may well of been on a fair well journey to the scrap yard.
Interesting the U30C at 42:06 labeled for CSX Transportation. I'm sure there wasn't many of those. Also the unit at 46:58 with the replacement blue fuel tank.
Nothing quite like Leslie RS5Ts echoing in the hills.

Terrific video of the old L&N/ Early CSX.I bought a copy of this on vhs back in the early 90's.
Hey any chance you might transfer over to DVD with extra copies? Just sayin......
@@klugermann5806 possibly but not sure of the cost.
Where did you get it & how?

5 GP16s walkin' and talkin'. and can hear the rapid chop of U18B baby boat from a mile away. Beautiful.
Loved it, have not seen such good footage of the L&N until this video. Thank you for sharing it;
Thank you so much for sharing this. My favorite era and paint schemes. This quality is rare. ♡
Great video! This video crew took shot at some locations I have not seen in other videos and photos on the L&N Mainline. Thanks for putting this up.
Leslie RS5Ts and big tag Nathan K5LAs. Some sweet sweet sounds!
I love seeing these old fallen flags
Oh that Chessie and Seaboard; love from Philly brother ;)
Now THEY HAVE NAMED THE ARENA THE L&N STATIOM! The old L&N Building is still standing today in Louisville Kentucky!

Wow! Stepping back in time!!!

Funny how it seems weird to see locos without ditch lights.
Just got to love those old Chessie Kitten logos!
Excellent
Kickass tape.
Do you have "Lines into Louisville" which I think was a few years before this?
Great video, is the anymore like this to view?
Which VHS to digital converter do you use? Great quality!
CSX WHEN YOU GET TO SOUTH TUNNEL ROAD BECAREFUL TO SEE THE GHOST OF THE LADY IN WHITE TAKE PICTURES OF HER
So much you can’t see anymore. Where to start?
look on the cliff you can see the ghost of the lady in white
Did these trains have cabooses at the end of their freights, or was it the FRED? Flashing Rear End Device?
41:05 Sounds awesome
This some serious gourmet sh*t
Really wish these railroads never merged
By the time this video was shot to the Lebanon branch have any traffic?
Does anyone know where a train coming in from Lebanon jct t turned around at in Lebanon so it can access the spur line that goes to Greensburg?
When EMD ruled the world...
Does anyone know where the video of the Lebanon and Springfield branch is at? They mention you can catch it in another one of their videos.
I think it's this one: ua-cam.com/video/p5759E_gC1w/v-deo.html
Lebanon Junction, I used to live there. The coal bin is still there.
Are all these trains "Q" trains?

Would have been a better video had it had more actual L&N trains. But still enjoyable.
