Westbound Wednesday--369

Westbound CSX train Q-369-02 is near Lapaz, Indiana on June 2nd, 1991 with CSX 6527-6825. Train had 64 cars including a mix of loaded hoppers on the head end followed by a mix of auto racks, auto parts, refers and boxcars. I took 7 photos of this train including photos of BN, Milw, SCL and SP auto racks and C&NW box on the end.

 

The B&O actually named a coach after this town in 1949.

 

Lapaz, Indiana allegedly had an interlocking tower with facing/trailing point crossovers and intersected with PRR's Vandalia Line that ran from Logansport to South Bend. The junction was just east of Lapaz and also had a coal tower and depot.

 

CSX GP40 #6527 was built by EMD as B&O #3751 in January of 1971.

 

CSX GP40 #6825 was built by EMD as L&N #3029 in September of 1967.
