Norfolk Southern NS 285 MEETS 27W in Mableton,Ga 03-20-2010© (16x9)

OK I was about to head home and saw the approach restricted signal heading into Austell from Lowe (Mableton) so I pulled in to get the train coming from Atlanta...well I turned back to my left and NS 285 Southbound Autorack train, now heading Eastbound coming up...the signals went down, so I thought it was from 285, but it was from 27W Northbound coming at me! Check out the video, pretty cool. Anyway 27W got the green and started to accelerate, then the hot box detector got them on axle 12 with a hanging brake. So they briefly stopped at Austell and checked on it.
