Diesel Work Across Fayette County
Of everywhere Superior goes, this county is the longest regular drive. Trucks, trailers and fleet units anywhere inside the line are handled by technicians who set out from the Louisville shop with the parts on board.
Three named streams cut across the ground here: the Kentucky River, North Elkhorn Creek and Goose Creek. Off the ring road, where a stopped unit has no street number to read out, the nearest of those gives dispatch a landmark to work with.
Maintenance and a good deal of repair work happen right where the unit stands. Calls about an air line letting go, a flat or a derate go out by day and by night. Work that wants a lift or a long teardown rides back west.
