- We start this two part video at Howell wye with a westbound CSX train loaded with rocks and boulders. Not sure where that's heading. Next we see former NS 203 coming of the Greenville line with the usual power upfront and mid train. After that along comes a westbound NS ethanol train with a single unit up front. After several bitter cold and cloudy days we're over at Sugar Valley to catch the newest Norfolk Southern heritage unit, the Tennessee, Alabama & Georgia Ry on it's first trip to Atlanta leading a stack and rack in a 1x1 configuration. It's overcast so the video is a little washed out. Then we chase, and I mean chase to try to get ahead of it, past Rome and Lindale where I wanted to shoot it, down past CP Green to Seney Pond Road, another favorite spot of mine. After that we skip Rockmart, as traffic is too much on these two lane roads, and wait for it at McPherson Church Road. As soon as we arrive on scene we're just in time to get NS 370 heading north. And just as soon as I can swap batteries the TAG train is there. It's Friday and the sky is getting more overcast so I'm not fighting through the traffic at Dallas to get to Hiram so I'm heading home. Enjoy!
i been trying to see the new heritage unit lol Great video
Awesome, was not familiar with this line. Your drone shots are perfection.
AWSOME footage of the TAG unit, Jay. I will caught-up later, Don
Nice!
I commented before I had watch it all the way through...my bad 😆. Love the new location👍. Cheers.
I used to shoot in locations like this all the time before I had health issues but it’s so far for me to drive for just a handful of trains it’s just simpler to go to Atlanta and shoot a dozen trains in a couple hours. Plus much less wear and tear on my car. I’ve worn out and totaled two vehicles chasing trains over the years :)
