Demise
On my way home from what would be my last chase of a westbound over the west end of the Indiana Subdivision with CPLs, I made the decision to stop in at Campbellsburg on the former Monon, which now is, or was, the CSX Hoosier subdivision. A pair of semaphore masts guard the overgrown and now rail-less right of way of the Hoosier as time marches on, and the construction of the new Monon-south trail marches further south. I wasn't around to see the final days of operations over this once famous piece of railroad, but it's still sad to see it reduced to this.
This set still had blades throughout 2023, not sure when they were swiped.
