Located in Boonville, Indiana, two coal hauling railroads share the same trackage. The first was covered in Boonville Delights, the Yankeetown Dock, and in part 2, we will take a look at Peabody’s Squaw Creek Railroad. The Squaw Creek operated from the AMAX mine north of Boonville down to the docks located on the YDC for transferring into barges. Unlike the mostly EMD roster of the Yankeetown Dock, the Squaw Creek, at the time of the visit, operated with a former Santa Fe ALCO RSD15 and a former Southern GE High Hood U30C.

While Not as busy as the Yankeetown, the Squaw Creek was a favorite amongst the local railfans for its two diesel dinosaurs. The RSD15 still survives in Texas, but the U33C was scrapped in Canada in 2014. The bright yellow locomotives may be gone from the area forever, but they live on in video! This is Volume 6 in the George Redmond Railfanning series.

NOTE: No narration. This is vintage eighties footage, shot using equipment of the time. It is not as sharp as programs shot today. Still, these are interesting scenes of long-gone railroads and equipment.
