TRAIN OF THOUGHT The CSX train that serves customers here in Shelbyville leaves the “Yard” while CSX MOW (maintenance of way) crews work to remove old siding tracks no longer in use, which have long been buried in weeds. Years ago, local companies without direct rail access would unload their merchandise from freight cars that had been spotted on these sidings. There were two or three sidings there along with a fourth siding servicing the old Parrish Lumber Co. The “Yard” was located just east of the Hendricks Street crossing. |
