I lucked out with a friend at Fortner Gas here in Madisonville.  He let me know about the spur upgrade so I could get some shots.  Just a few days after it was completed, I caught the local headed that way with some loaded tankers and got the switching action on camera.  The cab shot in the trackmobile was a surprise bonus for me!  Fortner has become a regional supplier of propane  with this new transloading facility across from the Madisonville Industrial Park off Hwy 41A in Madisonville, Ky.

Notice the little touch of re-engineering on 4302’s  panel door above!  Yes, I got to couple up to the tank car and blow the horn! – Photos by Bill Thomas
