Honoring Our Heroes on the Tracks 🚂🇺🇸

​Check out this incredible shot captured by one of our volunteers in Campbellsburg, KY! Featured is the CSX "Pride in Service" locomotive, a moving tribute dedicated to those who run toward the danger.

​As this engine rolls through our community, it serves as a powerful reminder of the dedication and sacrifice of our police, fire, and EMS personnel.

​Why We Love This Shot:

​The Message: The bold "HONORING OUR 1ST RESPONDERS" lettering says it all.

​The Setting: A beautiful, clear day on the rails in Henry County.

​The Spirit: It’s a great way to show our local heroes that their hard work doesn’t go unnoticed.

​Next time you hear the whistle blow, take a moment to thank a first responder!
