CSX Indiana Subdivision - The White River Valley
An updated in-depth 4K look at the CSX former B&O St. Louis line from Mitchell, Indiana to Seymour, Indiana along the White River.
This line travels through scenic southern Indiana across spectacular hill & farm scenery along side the beautiful White River.
Just a few years ago the future of this line was very much in doubt due to the removal of service to St. Louis from Mitchell, Indiana however the line from Mitchell to Cincinnati is still active and sees regular cement train (L452 & L453 alternating east and west 6 days a week).
CSX J780, then renumbered L422) was the star of the show, being the exclusive train to run from Mitchell to Seymour, Indiana up until 2023, when the cement trains began dedicated service. Power for L422/J780 was usually a set of EMD GP38-2's or GP40-2's. During low traffic times a single engine will be the power.
The directional east & west bound cement trains run with 6 axle power.. normally GE units but on occasion an EMD 6 axle will show up as well.
This video utilizes footage shot in 4k beginning in 2019 of the distinctive B&O Color Position Light (CPL) signal system. The CPL's are rapidly disappearing in favor of more modern technology where they remain on the CSX system. Many of the remaining CPL signals in place and in use are seen in this video... often these signals would be removed just days or weeks after I filmed at a particular location. There are still many CPL's in use from Seymour to Mitchell, but from the Seymour area to Cincinnati they are rapidly being replaced or eliminated.
Recently the Koppers Tie Trans-loading site at Mitchell was recently "mothballed" in August of 2024, but hopefully service to that will return and once again L422 will run again on this section of the Indiana subdivision.
The tracks west of Mitchell are in place to St. Louis, and kept in running condition to Shoals, Indiana although it is technically out of service and no trains are run. However the signals are maintained and there was tie-replacement recently on that section of the railroad. There is a large National Gypsum Company gypsum wallboard plant located there that was once a major shipper on that line. Hopefully traffic from that plant will someday return to the rails!
Thanks for watching, comments as always are GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing video everything about it is breathtaking, especially the music. My father and I would drive as many of the mountain roads along the subdivision from Cumberland past Connellsville to chase trains when I was growing up. I think the craziest was an autorack that we got to see leave Cumberland that we chased into Sand patch, Meyersdale, Rockwood, Markleton, Casselman, and into Confluence in the same day - the signals must've been on our side that day. Seeing so many of those places from the drone point of view was mind boggling and brought me to tears a few times. Thanks for this masterpiece!!
So awesome. Thank you so much for that wonderful memory with your dad!!!!!
their videos are so relaxing. you need to show these to young folk so they can see a horizon without windmills. see the world like we did.
Thank you so much!! lol. Yes. Burn coal!
Thats an outstanding video of Techechapi Loop video of UP and BNSF Trains that move thru there
Thank you so much!!!
I love this Techacpi Loop area its the best train watching spot in the whole world there is nothing can beat it I just wished it was all just Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Railroads and it was those two Railroads put Tehchapi Loop on the World Map its the best place in the World hands down there is nothing that can beat it when we lost both Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Railroads I just since its going to be Differnt World to me its just not the same without S P and A T S F Railroads but this place is still Good to watch the trains but in their places now is UP and BNSF railroads but I like in this places past with SP and ATSF
Yup!!!
Another amazing video! And the unique switchers are a bonus!
Yes they very interesting !!! And very well maintained !
I saw the region by passenger train. Using elevated touring comforts. And propeller commercial coach air service over same was obtained. Latter had better views from coast to coast.
Thank you for that memory !
Unbelievably gorgeous.
Many thanks Scott!!!!!!
I prefer video from a DPU..
Ok!!!
Can't get enough of this! Imagine capturing all of this with your drone 25 - 30 years ago. Thank you for sharing your masterpiece!
Glad you enjoyed it! I’m sure artificial intelligence will soon have em1’s storming up sand patch!
Wonderful footage!
Many thanks!!!!!
Fantastic!!! The railroad, the scenery, the weather, the engineering, the trains, and certainly your videography!!! Fantastic!! Wow!! [Greetings from Tucson.]
Many thanks!!!!!
your videos are in another class the cinematography looks like it’s a big budget movie production, the only thing that would elevate it even more wolves some narration and commentary which I know you’re doing with graphics but I think your voice would be better! thanks
Thanks. Maybe if we had the voice of James Earl Jones or Morgan Freeman!!😂❤️. We prefer no narration. This way can play as background music :)
great to see acme again
Thank you!!!
Outstanding video!!
Thank you. We loved shooting this video. There will be a minor update to it hopefully by spring !
Im just curious what is the website where you get your background music from I don't remember if I asked you that in the past
We use licensed music :). … BUT the royal pain in the wazoo to keep everything playing makes me hesitant to recommend it. It’s perfect but we had to remove the videos for over a year awaiting approvals and dealing with copyright strikes even though was properly licensed. Just the amount of effort makes dealing with them quite a hassle. Thanks !
awesome video
Thank you !!!
I have a question, when do you think ALL the old signals will be gone
A long time. Still lots from north Vernon to Cincinnati and those were supposed to have been removed years ago allegedly. They are just replacing the absolute necessary ones for operation. East of north Vernon they left in the old ones in places. Not sure why
Great Video. Not sure if you know but CSX has been in the last 2 to 3 months replacing the Signals & switches between West Mitchell & Seymour Indiana. Going to be intersting if CSX replaces them between Washington & Mitchell.
Yup. Glad to see the new signals. The old ones were awesome but so rusted they were unsafe to work on let alone keep functional. I love the old signals but their time was up and glad CSX is investing in new signals for the future. Doubt they do anything west of Mitchell for new signals. To Shoals is quasi maintained and a few signals still let up I think but until US Gypsum figures out how to load containers (they have enough volume to make it work) the line will remain dormant west of Mitchell.
Please come do the lineville sub during the fall… from Manchester, Ga to Birmingham, AL. I would love to see my territory through your lense.
We would love to!!!
Follow the water sheds in Indiana. Many Indian campments and hunting camps. Along the rivers. Main travel ways in 1700’s and older. The Green river meets the Ohio by Henderson Ky. Will take you all the way to Lexington Kentucky. South side. Lincoln county is the beginning of the water shed. Later.
Thanks for the info!
Great video! I will say that technically the Indiana Subdivision ends in Washington, IN so only the last few miles are still used through Washington. Then it’s the Illinois Subdivision from Washington to Vincennes, IN. Still sees an almost daily local (sometimes 6 days a week) service to an industry track and then back to Vincennes.
Thanks for the update!!
If you want night shots the L452 comes on duty at 0400 on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from Mitchell and goes back to Cincinnati.
Thanks for the info!!!
Ill always remember that day in 1992 when the Challenger was resting on the outskirts of cincinnati. My heart was pounding as that run to st. Louis pointed west and much of that first 60 miles traversed alongside US 50 into Indiana. That chase was thrilling!!
A bunch of us chased the challenger across the Indiana sub from Nebraska to big tunnel! I’ll have a shot at Nebraska on the high bridge there in the upcoming “east end” of the Indiana sub!

Simply beautiful, informative and EXCELLENT!!!

The best of the Indiana films, I believe. Pretty as a picture around there on the White River.
Thanks. It is such a beautiful area !
This was a great CSX Indiana video It was well liked by me I m hoping to see more videos like this in the future ok
Thanks and more on the way!
Absolutely beautiful video!
Thank you very much!!!
Thank you...Another wonderful masterpiece from the master. Made my day when it showed up in my playlist and went right to the top!
Wonderful!!! Thank you and you are very welcome !!!!
You can see your love of this line and area shine through the screen. Well done!
Thank you!!!! Yes!!!
Outstanding for sure, great videos and well done.
Thank you very much!
Hired out on the B&O as an Operator in Washington, IN in 1965 - worked most all the operator positions between Storrs Jct. in Cincinnati and HN Cabin in E. Stl Louis. It is a shame how the division has been down graded by CSX.
Did you know Ginger Boyd? JO in Seymour?
Very nice!!!
Thanks!!
Another home run for the rail enthusiast community. Outstanding video quality.
Thanks again!
I would pay to watch this in a movie theater. Way better than what Hollywood puts out. A+++
Wow. Thank you !!!
I still work as engineer, this is only channel about railway that I have subscribed to. Great videos, greetings from Austria.
Thank you very much!
Any footage I could help you get, I would do it for free and hand it all over to you free of charge.
Where do u run ?
I prefer my red/white /black WM paint on F7s, but those are just memories now. Re. the Reno gang, also some of them were hanged at the New Albany , Ind. jail. Also to note, most of the stolen gold coins have never been found. A few were found at the gangs relatives farms. The New Albany hangings is quite a story, even evolving into a crisis with Canada/Great Britain. Locals have been searching for the gold ever since.
Thanks !!
Too bad that CSX has trashed the west end of this line.(The OD too!) We photoed trains on this line from Cincy to the Illinois line. This was pre CSX and right after the merger. Just look at the crappy condition those signals are in. You can see this line has a questionable future.
Thanks !!!
Marvelous! More beautiful footage. You have done it again!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much !!!
Wow-what a fantastic video! This was ACADEMY AWARD grade and extra points for filming in the rain?!! Looking forward to future videos from you.
Loved filming in the rain for that gritty reality railroads have to work through!
As others have said and I agree -- consistently the best railroad videos anywhere. Superb cinematography, editing, scoring.
Wow, thanks!
Absolutely wonderful!!! I loved the sound of rain with the distant train whistle! Thank you so much!
Thank you. Nothing beats the Leslie 5 note horns !!! Probably an old L&N horn!
37:49 those signals are messed up turns from red train in the block to green ?
I’m not sure ! They are replacing the signals on the line with something more modern :/
Beautiful country and camera work
Thanks !!!
Best video on the tube !
Thanks !!!!!
Fantastic production! The footage is breathtaking. Id love to know more about the signals at 48:40
Thanks ! Those are B&O color position lights. Unique in all of railroading. Probably 75 years old!!!
