(Fallen Flags of America) The Transkentucky Transportation Railroad

Howdy Railfans today we discuss the raise, height, and fall of the Transkentucky Transportation Railroad on this edition of Fallen Flags of America.
Bio: The Transkentucky Transportation Railroad was formed in 1979 and purchased a section of track from the Louisville & Nashville Railroad running from Paris-Maysville, Kentucky. The TTI ran as a independent Class III railroad from 1979-1991 when it was purchased by CSX Transportation and became a subsiary of the large Class 1. The TTI used a very interesting roster ranging from Two Alco S4s, Several General Electric U28Bs (Ex-CRIP & PL&E), Some General Electric U36Bs (Both Ex-Seaboard System & CRIP), Alco RS3ms (Rebuilt Ex-MP Alco RS3s featuring EMD Prime Movers), and Several General Electric B36-7s (All Ex-Seaboard System). Thankfully before it's demise in 2017 one of their U28Bs (TTI 255) was sent to the Illinois Railroad Museum of Union, Illinois were she still resides today.
