those are trash (garbage) containers. heading to or returning from a landfill somewhere. a lot of larger cities in the northeast and midwest ship trash to more rural areas for disposal in landfills (so these are probably empties returning to chicago, detroit, etc)
ha-i was actually shooting video between acworth and cartersville today after a meeting i had in marietta. however, the lighting was horrible and i dont think any of my video is good enough to post. will see.
I saw you video taping the BNSF train in Acworth when I was driving by. I tried beating it to Emerson but it beat us my Dad and I. But awesome compilation of today's trains! I'd give you 5 stars but it said there was an error. Mabey later.
Haha, you should have come by and shared some of the great BP gas station hot dogs we had..ugh. I didn't realize until after we got home that my kids are yelling "BNSF and Santa Fe!" before you can even see the BNSF locos on the video--they were staked out doing advance recon on the caboose :)
Hey Dixieline, why do they have 4-5 engines? Is it because of the hilly terrain in NW GA?
I live in Hull, GA about 4 miles from the tracks. When they pass through Athens, Hull and Colbert they most always have 2 or 3 at most.
You ever come out this way? If you do, I would love to meet up with you!

At 2:46 what kind of freight car is that and what do they carry? I've seen them before but I don't know what they are used for.
