When I was a kid living in Newark Delaware in the 80's these would always come through with various Chessie loco's I remember seeing the L&N pass quickly by being confused thinking it was a Seaboard Coast Line engine those two paint schemes are so close.
My brother in-law worked for the L&N from the late 50's to the mid 90's. I spent many a day at the L&N golf course in the early 60's to the 70's....What a great time being in the pool watching the trains....and that is when there was still the Pan and Hummingbird around.
CSX now runs L&N RAILROAD. It's so much fun to watch the history of the old Railroad Company. Started in the 1800's. Their Rail lines are still around this city. Awesome 🌝👍
Excellent footage! Boy do I miss the uniqueness and the bad ass RS5T horns with those manual values. Never thought they’d be gone. These new train horns sound like constipated cows.
Interesting the U30C at 42:06 labeled for CSX Transportation. I'm sure there wasn't many of those. Also the unit at 46:58 with the replacement blue fuel tank.
That was the funnest eras of railroading. Power lash ups from all the former lines and old rolling stock that for a time seemed to be getting extra use before it all disappeared. I lived close to the main to Chicago in southern Indiana and it was common for a few years to see them double head the trailer train to Chicago on Sunday afternoon along with many other unusual consist. 6-12 units of every name and era all mixed together, even road slugs and yard switchers thrown in for main line power. Some you would see over and over for awhile, others I'm sure may well of been on a fair well journey to the scrap yard.

Nothing quite like Leslie RS5Ts echoing in the hills.
Terrific video of the old L&N/ Early CSX.I bought a copy of this on vhs back in the early 90's.
Hey any chance you might transfer over to DVD with extra copies? Just sayin......
@@klugermann5806 possibly but not sure of the cost.
Where did you get it & how?

Thank you so much for sharing this. My favorite era and paint schemes. This quality is rare. ♡
Loved it, have not seen such good footage of the L&N until this video. Thank you for sharing it;
Oh that Chessie and Seaboard; love from Philly brother ;)

Great video! This video crew took shot at some locations I have not seen in other videos and photos on the L&N Mainline. Thanks for putting this up.
5 GP16s walkin' and talkin'. and can hear the rapid chop of U18B baby boat from a mile away. Beautiful.
Leslie RS5Ts and big tag Nathan K5LAs. Some sweet sweet sounds!

I love seeing these old fallen flags
Wow! Stepping back in time!!!

Excellent
Funny how it seems weird to see locos without ditch lights.
Just got to love those old Chessie Kitten logos!
Great video, is the anymore like this to view?
Do you have "Lines into Louisville" which I think was a few years before this?
Now THEY HAVE NAMED THE ARENA THE L&N STATIOM! The old L&N Building is still standing today in Louisville Kentucky!
Which VHS to digital converter do you use? Great quality!
Kickass tape.
CSX WHEN YOU GET TO SOUTH TUNNEL ROAD BECAREFUL TO SEE THE GHOST OF THE LADY IN WHITE TAKE PICTURES OF HER

When EMD ruled the world...
So much you can’t see anymore. Where to start?
41:05 Sounds awesome
Does anyone know where a train coming in from Lebanon jct t turned around at in Lebanon so it can access the spur line that goes to Greensburg?
Did these trains have cabooses at the end of their freights, or was it the FRED? Flashing Rear End Device?
Really wish these railroads never merged
By the time this video was shot to the Lebanon branch have any traffic?
Are all these trains "Q" trains?
Lebanon Junction, I used to live there. The coal bin is still there.
Is muldroigh hill
Still Double tracked?
Yes. From Bardstown Jct up the hill to just south of Elizabethtown.

Would have been a better video had it had more actual L&N trains. But still enjoyable.
