CSX acquired L&N and then sold this route to Evansville Western Railway.

Edward Bridges Sadly, this one was demolished because a church didn't want it blocking the view of their big building...

For many years, I had hoped the old Train Station would have been restored into something .. but, I think it just fell into such disrepair that it was unfeasible ..
[Comments disagree on ownership: Catholic Church vs. City.]

I assume this is the church that was responsible for the demolition.
