The coffee was getting cold - a photo on Flickriver

            With my coffee getting cold, Louisville & Indiana Railroad train Z550 hammers the diamond at CP-Dale on the south side of Indianapolis, Indiana, on CSX's former JM&I/PRR/PC/CR Louisville Secondary. CSX still owns and operates the northern four miles or so of the Louisville route with the remainder being the Louisville & Indiana (LIRC). Z550 was headed to Indiana Railroad's Senate Avenue Yard for interchange from their home terminal of Columbus, Indiana. 
CP-Dale is the location of the former Dale Block Station which controlled the diamond with the old Indianapolis Union Rwy. here, and in its later life, it verbally controlled the northerly two Block Limit Stations (BLS's) of Elvin and White on the Louisville Secondary.

This is the third out of four possible angles I've shot and posted for these side diamond shots here at Dale. Feel free to peruse the Louisville & Indiana album to see the other two. If you look just a few feet in front of the lead engine you may spot the foundation from Dale Block Station which still exists.

LIRC GP39-2 2304 started out life as MKT 379, and was built by EMD for Katy in June of 1984.
