INRD Blackhawk, IN Farmersburg Mine 9-12-2004
Two of the Indiana Railroad’s six former BN SD40-2s slowly pull an IPL coal train through the loadout at Blackhawk, IN on a warm September afternoon. At the time, coal was loaded into 40 car coal trains for IPL during the day, with the mainline runs happening at night. The Farmersburg Mine, owned by Peabody, was closed in 2010 due to depleted resources, with business moving to the new Bear Run Mine about twenty miles to the south.
