Railroad Switching Industrial Spur & CSX Street Running, Louisville Kentucky Trains, CSX Short Line

CSX switching industrial tracks near Louisville, Kentucky with 3 locomotives and a railroad spur that has a level railway crossing on a busy highway. Also a street running train in LaGrange , Kentucky with a CSX mixed freight going down the middle of the road on Main Street. This is an ex Louisville & Nashville Railway line known as the CSX Short Line or LCL. First we see the local switching a customer at Buckner, Ky which is 4 miles south of LaGrange and just north of Louisville. Usually the local works here on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, at least those are the days that I usually see them. The local runs north to the customer on LaGrange Rd ( Highway 146 ) in the morning and if they pick up cars they will run north to LaGrange to run around their train and then return south toward Louisville. On the day that I filmed them they did not pick up any cars so they did not go through LaGrange and they just returned light with the 3 locomotives. Had they gone through LaGrange they would have gone down the middle of Main Street northbound and then return about 30 minutes later running southbound unless they had more work. After I filmed the local I went to LaGrange and got lucky to catch a northbound train street running. Most road freights on this line run southbound. The day I filmed this, October 9, 2020, I saw 3 street running trains, the local at Buckner and I saw a unique work train at Campbellsburg just north of LaGrange. See that video. On October 9, 2020; there were 6 trains that passed through LaGrange with 3 of them going through in darkness. This line usually gets at least 6 trains a day but it can get 10 or more on busy days. Listen for the trains calling the signals on 161.370 along with the defect detectors and listen for the dispatcher talking to the trains on 161.310. End of train device is 452.9375 and front of train device is 457.9375 but if your scanner doesn't get that many digits just round up to 452.940 and 457.9375. Those are the frequencies that are usually recommended due to that problem. This line is getting fewer trains due to Precision Scheduled Railroading ( PSR ), the virus which I won't mention and a few reroutes going through Indiana. Most of the trains that I film are caught just by luck and patience. Sometimes I go to areas and never see a train. I spent 3 days at Natural Tunnel, Virginia and no trains ran in light. I spent 2 days at Elizabeth, Pennsylvania with no trains in light. People ask all the time how I know when trains are running. Usually, I don't know so I just wait and I strike out all the time. I could make a video about that but there wouldn't be any trains. Lol. Thanks for watching!
