| Title: |
UP 5907 |
| Description: |
Union Pacific, UP 5907, a GE AC44CWCTE, led CSX mix freight south over the viaduct to the Ohio River bridge into Henderson, Kentucky from Evansville, Indiana on the Henderson Subdivision on May 24, 2024. The original viaduct was constructed in 1885 by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. In 1932 the current viaduct was built and was 12,123 feet long, the bridge over the Ohio River taking up 648 feet of that distance. The span over the Ohio River was designed and built to be used as a double track and the approach pier has a block puzzle design for interlocking the existing pier to the new pier to allow a second approach. However, the second approach was never built, and a CSX employee told me that the track on the bridge was too close for the harmonic rocking of the trains. |
