IORY 3525 |
| Description: |
I had been crossing my fingers before making this trip that somehow we would manage to stumble across the CIND first shift job coming back from Greensburg. This train had pretty regularly been running out to Greensburg on Mondays, but very early in the morning. I happened to look on Facebook when we were done with the IERR, and sure enough, they were on their way back reported in New Point just after noon. Knowing we had enough time to get over there, we took a quick bathroom break and headed for the concrete bridge over Bonnell Road and the Whitewater River west of Guilford, IN. The train took much longer to arrive to our local than either one of us had expected, which we later figured out was due to crossing malfunctions in Batesville. But, the wait was worth it! |

The CIND Local crosses the Whitewater River a second time over the big steel bridge between Hooven and Elizabethtown along US 50. Three giant shots that I wasnt sure if we would get today. The day continued to get better! |

Our gambling paid off. Majorly. Sure enough, the second shift CIND job was up working Seimer Mills. We honestly could not believe our eyes, but given how today had gone so far, it should not have been a surprise! This line in particular has always been of interest to me, given its true branch line feel following the Whitewater River. Some buildings along the tracks are mere feet from the rails! Due to a major washout in 2013(?), IORY opted to abandon the line north of West Harrison as the cost of rebuilding was too much, despite the glass factory in Brookville being such a large customer. Since then, sand is still delivered by rail, but it is transloaded from rail ro road from Camden to Brookville from Norfolk Southern. Most of the rail remains in place though, so. if traffic volumes increase, there is no saying that it wont be rebuilt. But, it isnt looking likely. Despite that, we at least still have this small section of the Brookville Sub left! We set up shop at Broadway Street and about 15 minutes later IORY L272, as the crew was calling themselves, called departin Seimer Mills. Look how close that building is to the rails! There were several locations along this branch line like this. But, the only place to see something like this with a train still running is here in West Harrison. |

We found some neat construction equipment right off of Campbell Road just down from the Harrison Youth Baseball Fields, which is where we shot the train next. |

| Description: |
By the time L272 made it back, the CIND rack train was gone, which gave them a route into the yard. After throwing the switch lining the Brookville Branch to the main, the train headed into the yard. We grabbed a final shot of the train passing the CIND yard sign. This truly was the cherry on top. I have been trying to catch a train on this section of track for so long, and can finally say that I have. Definitely a wild day for Dad and I! We had an eastbound on CSX coming, but we decided to opt out on it and end on a high note. After grabbing some supper at Freddys in Harrison, we made the 3 hour drive back toward home. Definitely will be one of the best railfanning days of the year by far! |
