@leonuug it is the old us 41 bridge, now main street.

What is MOW crew?? how often do trains stop?

[CSXDixieLine]

the maintenance of way (mow) crews are the ones who install, maintain & repair the track, roadbed, crossings, etc. the trains usually dont stop in kennesaw; this one did because the mow crew was probably on the tracks around there. i did see all kinds of mow equipement around the depot where he was stopped.

How come is moving so slow? A lot of horsepower..

[CSXDixieLine]

they had just stopped at the cherokee street crossing, which is just around the curve at the beginning of the video. i THINK they stopped there because MOW crew were working at the crossing or on the nearby tracks.

I'm probably repeating myself but you ought to hear this through Bose headphones. :)

@CSXDixieLine That's right, in that little church parking lot. I take my kids there now.

I think my friend "Kathy" may live near here. She can see trains from her deck and lives near CSX tracks. Great sound and video

I saw a yellow train going very slow. The other day in Buford. It had like 4 cars, and it had a bunch of engines or equipment on it. I also saw a guy who was rather dirty, and walking on one of the cars. After it passed, there was a White truck, on the tracks (with regular wheels), but it had train wheels installed on it. Do you know what it was?

I went over Main Street today and saw Q541 with a really short train. I looked just north of the bridge and saw a siding. Does that go to a Grain Plant or something? I saw a SD40-2 bringing about 5 grain cars out of the siding and I thought I saw a building next to the siding.

[leonuug]

@CSXDixieLine oh ok, thanks. I live close to there.

This is a wonderful shot! What kind of camera do you use?

[rosalinaband]

I see that train all the time :) its in downtown kennesaw where they put all the old looking places like Whistle Stop Cafe, and that gun shop and all that.
