HiDef: Piedmont Division Railfanning - Oakwood, GA 6/17/10

On a beautiful June morning, I went out to the Piedmont Division as a farewell trip with my grandparents. After about an hour of lively discussion on the Southern Railway history around Oakwood, NS 237 called the clear signal at Chicopee, the signals a couple of miles to the north. This is where the video begins:
