CSX R-184 Through Cusseta, Al

March 21, 2008

Here's a shot I've been wanting to get for quite a while now. This is CSX R-184.21 making its way through the reverse S curve just north of Cusseta, Al.

This is actually a train ID I've never heard of before. I find it somewhat strange for a intermodel to be coming south at this time of day around these parts.

Enjoy!

Yay, no wide nose today.

I suspect if its a train number you have not heard, and it isn't a regular, then could it be a re-route?

Either way, that is an excellent spot!

[hoolg]

I guess that would make since seeing that it starts with an R.

As for the location, this is one of my favorite locations to shoot. The angles preferr a southbound move and that's why I say I've been wanting to shoot here for a while now.

Glad you liked it and thanks for the info.

Correct, it is a reroute. There is currently an embargo on the Lineville Sub, so trains are running down to Montgomery on the S&NA and then up the A&WP to Atlanta.

Interesting. I've heard bits and pieces of talk about work being done on the Lineville sub. I guess this is the best route. Thanks for the info. More trains for me.

gosh that looks like fec107.About how many trains you see a day on this line?

[Knudshoved]

First of all, how was I 'slamming'??? Just becuase I said 'impossible'? If I was 'slamming' someone, wouldn't I say something like 'dumbass'? And where does the A&WP and Cusseta come in my first reply? Nowhere.

Hey jackass Knudshoved, get your facts straight. Hoolg said "Cusseta", which is on the Western of Alabama main just NE of Opelika, AL, not on the S&NA Sub. Please make sure you know what you're talking about before you start slamming people.

[Knudshoved]

Impossible. Intermodal trains do NOT run down the S&NA (south), because of Parkwood Tunnel. Reroutes like these head down Lineville and make turn along the line.
