Nice pace, it's something I only experienced twice (once was by foot walking alongside a 3 MPH ballast-drop train), both on trips. Where I live, the tracks don't follow roads, so pacing videos are a nice treat for me.
I'm honetsly not sure what the routing of these Tropicanna cars are other than knowing that this train terminates at Fairburn, Ga (just south of Atlanta) and its counter part, Q145 originates with the same set of cars usually on the tail end. I believe this train is a run through from the California ports but could be wrong on that one.
That was AWESOME wasn't it? I love that sound....I have to say that is one of the best things about working for the RR is getting to hear that all the time!
hey wait.. I'm still in Alabama right? Or is it Texas? I dunno.
At the end there the chaser becomes the chased..
Great chase video Greg!

As a retired railroad conductor the thing that I found about working for the RR was the 1st and 16th.
