CSX Q618 Freight Train at Auburn, GA

Took the boy on a road trip along the Abbeville Sub from Atlanta to Athens. Caught Q618 in Auburn led by a trio of Dash 8's; the rest of the line was dead because of a broken water main under the tracks in Winder. Auburn is a good spot: broad curve, long tangent, grade, signals, siding, nice park; I'll be coming back later.

I royally screwed up this video (bad camera setup, bad light, messed up the tripod, bad pan), but it is such a cool spot I thought I'd post it anyway! Plus it is my 3-year old's first job as director :)
