Flowery Branch, GA 1/15/11: Screaming Meet

It's rare I see meets, but this one was a lucky catch. With new scheduling, NS 212 is able to meet NS 211 in my region of the Piedmont Division. With a GEVO leading a C40-9 "Tophat" and a C40-9W, 212 screamed around the curve reminded me of CSXDixieLine's video 'NS 212 Intermodal Train at Oakwood, GA', the video that inspired me to railfan. After 212 comes to a stop, 211 comes past with its dynamic brakes screaming. Now if only 214 would be rescheduled...

@RailroadExpeditions Yeah, yeah. It was all GE's today. I got my GEVOs for the month; I'm ready for my EMDs! Nikos got a picture of a GMTX SD60 running out of Atlanta (not on the Piedmont) LHF. It's beastly.

[steampower2001]

Great Chip! What time did NS reschedule these to meet? I might go to Flowery Branch and see a meet.

[RailroadExpeditions]

Man Chip, just think if only there was a SD70 or a SD60I leading. Yet again another great video my friend!:)
