Cool video, but it looks like you're trespassing on railroad property. That's taken seriously around here. (UP line)

@negerpungrally2 I looked on wikipedia and saw that there's a NS sub that goes from Washington D.C. to Atlanta, GA which is about 617 miles, I think. Is it 1 crew that takes that train for that route or do they swap somewhere like in North Carolina or something. If they don't swap and the crew does the whole entire run then this would have to be the longest subdivision on a class 1 railroad.

Try not to shoot a video facing the sun and try to keep the camera still too.

[conrailbuff]

Is it me or is it REALLY bright....

Love that roadrailer.

I know that this is about 4 to 5 years after the fact, but I was just curious as to why Union Pacific no longer has the "contract" to haul Scherer coal trains?

Looks like most of these are at the top of the hill in Shannon, GA. The roadrailer 251 looks like you were at Pinson. Most all the BNSF stuff headed south are Scherer trains. 17,000+ tons, 7000 feet, 124 cars, 2 locos on the head and one DP on the rear. Hammond Yates, Wansley trains are mostly NS power, now 3 on the head and 2 DP. Scherer trains also get pushed over Braswell mountain to Dallas ,GA. Nice shots.
