Grab shot |
| Description: |
My wife doesnt believe I get these. We were driving through Decatur AL on the way home from Georgia last weekend when I pulled up to a light on US72A. There was a crossing between me and the intersection. I looked over, expecting empty track on a Sunday afternoon. To my surprise, there was a train there. I took advantage of the slow speed to roll over the crossing, holding the camera up. I tripped the shutter as we went over the crossing, with this result. A pair of SDs are holding north of the crossing on an industrial track leading to the Nucor steel plant. |

The westbound rolls past the Rockview Club, which has a wonderful view of the action here-or would if it were still a going concern. |

Through the greenery |

The planting season is upon us, and the emerging corn makes for a nice contrast to the black diesels. |
