Here are a couple of shots of equipment on the Squaw Creek Southern Railroad at Yankeetown, IN from August 20th 2010.
The SCS operates the former Yankeetown Dock Corp facility at Yankeetown and the former Squaw Creek Coal facilities at Boonville, IN. Indiana Southern delivers the loads to Yankeetown in former Yankeetown Dock gons (YDCX) and SCS dumps them at their facility. SCS also handles loads of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil for mixing into ANFO for the mines in the area. Several new mines have opened in this part of Indiana over the past couple of years. The new Red Brush mine is under construction at Yankeetown, right next to the NS/ISRR/SCS main line.
Here is ISRR 4040 sitting in the yard at Yankeetown Meanwhile SCS 20 the former YDC 20 SD38-2 is working the dumper Having finished unloading a cut of gons, SCS 20 has pulled the empties into the yard and is heading back to the south end to work another cut At the shops, SCS 11 SDP-38 is taking it easy today. Behind her is the former AWW 203 SD-9. Also on the property is YDC 21 SD38-2 still in YDC paint, but couldn't get a decent shot of her
