CSXT 201 East at Osgood, Ind.
CSXT AC44CW 201 leads CSX Train Q272-11 (Louisville, Ky.–Detroit, Mich.) through Osgood, Ind., on CSX's Indiana Subdivision. Currently, the Indiana Subdivision handles just this one regular train a day, which operates via shortline Louisville & Indiana (LIRC) out of Louisville and enters the Indiana Subdivision at the LIRC connection at Seymour, Ind., about 35 miles west.
Train counts on the Indiana Subdivision have ebbed and flowed over the years, as have stories as to whether CSX Transportation would mothball it, rip it up, or begin routing oodles and oodles of trains looking to escape the railroad's Louisville–Cincinnati, Ohio, LCL Subdivision, which constantly pushes capacity. In any case, the Indiana Subdivision remains a fine safety valve for CSX, as well as a haven for photogenic color position lights going back to Baltimore & Ohio days.
