Indiana Railroad status
Posted by Leo_Ames on Tuesday, June 9, 2020 10:45 PM

Was wondering how this regional was doing these days, knowing the importance of coal for them and the decline in demand. Are they still thriving and finding alternative traffic sources? Also curious about their current locomotive roster.

The only roster I see online is laughingly out of touch with reality, despite a semi recent date for when it was last updated. I'm at best a casual observer of this road, yet even I know that they don't roster a CF7 anymore (They issued a press release about a decade ago about their last one being retired), that several of the SD9043MAC's were released and wound up on Norfolk Southern (A consequence I suppose of declining coal tonnage), etc.

What's currently powering their trains these days?
