what street in Duluth is this? I cant quite pick it out, is it somewhere off Buford HWY?

[CSXDixieLine]

it is where old main street crosses the tracks right in front of carolina lumber. and yes, it is about 200 feet away from buford highway.

I like how the crew of the train in the hole was in a way guarding the crossing for the crew of the passing train.

[CSXDixieLine]

that is a tricky spot because that siding crosses a major highway (pleasant hill road) in the atlanta suburbs that can not be blocked (especially during rush hour!) so the train has to hold short of pleasant hill while still not fouling the switch at duluth.
