Here is a video filmed Aug. 28, 2007 of the OSC special through Alabama. This is NS 951 that has left from Atlanta, GA and travelling through Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and into Dallas, TX.
Yesterday I was at school on 8/29/07 in Bossier City,LA.The train came right behind my throught KCS'S Bossier City yard.I tried to git a picture of it at UP'S Hollywood yard in Shreveport,LA,but I missed it.
the engines are rebuilt old units. 2 f9a's and 2 f7b's. the ditch lights are standard safety equipment on all locomotives now. they were rebuild with 2 GP38 power movers and given all the latest upgrades inside the cab.

This is a perfect example of what not to do with an old F-Unit. It has a digi bell on it, and a fouled K-5LA.

Great video. Lots of nice shots and good angles. Seeing those bulldog noses coming at you really takes me back.

you talking about the ns upgrades or the rebuild they had 10 years or so ago?

Wrong, those are the original old units with upgrades.

That last shot was great! What's up with the UP cars? I have never seen that before, also good catch on all four units.
