RBBB Blue unit Circus train - NS #048 at White City,GA

A trio of NS EMD's power the Ringling Bro's and Barnum & Bailey Blue unit circus train eastbound near White City,GA (just east of Douglasville) on the afternoon of Monday, 1/30/12. Train was traveling from Birmingham,AL to Greenville,SC.

Unfortunately, this was the only video I was able to shoot of this train. I got him 3 times but had no time to set up for video the first two.

@Kyle

Why EMD's? Not complaining but I would have thought they would have used a couple of 40DC's or their Trash 9's.

@CarNutandTrainNut2 My thought are that this was the only extra power they had around which was good for us railfans!

The truth: I'm a train dummy...no really I am! What I mean is I know close to nothing about them but for some reason I'm totally interested!!! You've got my attention! Do any of you know of any links I can learn more? Thanks again for the awesome vids! I can't get the term "steel dragons" out of my head that I saw on another vid!
