Local Switching! by Bill Thomas

With the current economic problems facing our businesses it is encouraging to see some rail action at one of Christian County’s automotive parts suppliers. On Tuesday afternoon, March 10, 2009 I caught CSX J723 – the Guthrie Road Switcher – was at the north end of the Casky double track preparing to back into the Dana spur with a dozen flats used to ship auto frames to several plants including the Corvette plant in Bowing Green. There are several loaded flats in the plant area and I assume that some of these will be heading back to Guthrie with J723.
