Flowery Branch, GA 12/18/10: A Glimpse of Sunshine- UP Style

It's a lucky thing I missed 237 a few minutes before, as it only had two NS-painted locomotives on it. Because I missed it, every freight train I saw today had some form of foreign power. In this case, a UP C45AC led today's NS 203. If you're wondering about the rest of the day, NS 172 had a GMTX SD60 third out ("Oakwood, GA 12/18/10: A Blue, Blue, Blue Christmas"), NS 154 was caught with a Santa Fe-painted Warbonnet leading(!), and NS 118 had a Kansas City Southern AC4400CW trailing. The last two, sadly, were not recorded. Maybe I'll get a little bit of luck this Monday...
