Q531
Title:  Q531
Description:  Q531 crosses the Tennessee River/Kentucky Lake after dropping a cut of cars off in the small yard at New Johnsonville. This bridge was originally built for the Illinois Central's crossing of the river at Gilbertsville, KY. The N.C.&St.L. purchased the bridge when the IC rerouted their Kentucky Division trackage over the top of Kentucky Dam in the 1940's. The lift bridge replaced an older swing bridge that was located upriver (Johnsonville was one of several towns relocated due to the creation of Kentucky Reservoir/Lake). Ironically, the Paducah & Louisville has since removed the tracks from Kentucky Dam, building a new bridge several years ago.

Q126
Title:  Q126
Description:  With both of its DPU units back online thanks to quick work from the mechanical department and a fuel truck at Bruceton yard, Q126 (Savannah, GA - Memphis, TN) heads onto Memphis Sub rails at Hollow Rock. This is the site of where the old N.C.&St.L. main line to Memphis via Jackson split off. Following the 1957 L & N merger through trains were routed off of that line and onto the Martin branch to McKenzie, where they entered the former L & N Memphis Line for the rest of the run to Memphis. This was done to eliminate a low bridge under the Gulf, Mobile, & Ohio at Jackson. All that remains of the line is a small island of trackage on both sides of Jackson, which CSX accesses via trackage right over the West Tennessee Railroad from Milan.

Description:  The crew of V699 (Comer, GA - Memphis, TN) has had a long day. The dispatcher called on them to cut the power away from their train and push Q126 from White Bluff to McEwen.
