Indiana Hi-Rail's Browns, Illinois-Poseyville,Ind line still running?

[mudchicken]

Thats about right.....Like IHRC, Browns-Poseyville is gone (AB-477-3X, mid-1998) ...the part owner of Owensville Terminal/Evansville Terminal took the surviving pieces of the old IC branches to Pioneer Railcorp with him where he became their real estate guy in that strange operation. Two of the three spokes of the old IHRC Owensville operation survive, albeit embargoed much of the time to serve as access to NS or CSX from three big elevators (Cargill, Consolidated Barge &???). Elevators don't ship, but want rail line for pricing leverage. Last time I was near there, you had to look really hard to find rail out in the weeds.

Can anyone tell me if Indiana Hi-Rail's Browns, Illinois-Poseyville, Indiana branch is still in operation and if so is it being operated by Pioneer Railroad Corp shortline Indiana Southwestern Railway? Or has the track between Browns, Illinois and Poseyville, Indiana been abandoned? Any information i have found says that Indiana Southwestern Railway operates from Evansville to Poseyville then four miles to cynthiana on what was once the poseyville & owensville railroad.
