The Bowling Green Museum’s L&N E8 – 796 – was back in Kentucky today. Chuck Hinrichs caught the unit as it passed through Hopkinsville on CSX’s manifest freight Q645 at about 9:20 am. The E8 was tucked in behind the road power on Q645. An early afternoon trip to Guthrie did not turn up the E8 so it is assumed to be on it’s way to Bowling Green via R J Corman. Chuck Hinrichs
thanks so much for the videos! Come see her up close and personal very soon at the Historic L&N Depot in Bowling Green, KY.
Great job Jim, I shot the entire journey from rolling her out of the Mid America train shed to her arrival at South Union for my company Peridot Pictures and the Historic Railpark & Train Museum. You did a wonderful job as 796 rolled through your territory… THANKS for capturing this historic moment. Even on a grey, rainy day, the 796 sure shines…
I found the E8 at Auburn next to RJ’s Distribution Center on Friday. Glad to see yall’s posts, I saw that CSX train and by coincidence found it at Auburn too and wondered what the story was on it.
