CSX Abbevile Sub 4-21-07 Athens, Ga

Video of trains passing through the athens, Ga station area during my n-scale clubs show which is in the former Southern Depot. the videos were shot from where the old SOU yard tracks used to be until last year. 3 trains are seen in the vid, first a southbound coal train flys over the bridge that used to span the yard tracks with a almost consecutively numbered set of Locos, CSX AC44's 256 and 254.next we see some switching as the Y111 power sorts cars in the depot yard. the power then comes across the bridge and reverses giving us a good look at the trains great set of power: B36-7 5904 and CSX B40-8 5978 which was just recently acquired from NS and is still in Conrail paint. watch as the units approach the crossing to see an idiot walking his bike across the crossing and then stopping on the track right in front of the 5904 to get on the bike!
Last we have a very short northbound double stack behind C40-8W 7913 and AC44 288.
