Finally moving |
| Description: |
When I arrived at Austell, this train was waiting east of the junction of the line to Rome, and the line to Birmingham. Hes been sitting here at least two hours, and now finally gets to go, passing a local hardware store as he gets his 93 stack platforms moving west. |

Almost |
| Description: |
The eastbound led by BNSF 3796 had a pair of GEs on the rear, one from BNSF, one from NS. The 141 car train stopped as it entered the yard, the DPU just not quite making it far enough for a decent shot. We see them from the bus turn around at the Railrunner station. |

Waiting |
| Description: |
This is the first of four shots of this westbound stack train, waiting east of the Madison Av crossing in Tulsa. We had dropped the RV off at Camping World for some work, and were riding through town, admiring all the Art Deco style buildings there, and decided to check out Union Depot. We crossed the tracks downtown, and saw this train holding back a ways, so went to check it out. NS 4132 leads a long string of double stacks. |

Thoroughbred |
| Description: |
The leader of the stack train has a race horse on the nose, but at the moment is not doing much racing. He waits for the second of two eastbounds. We didnt stick around, as we had a date with an Indian restaurant on Lewis Av, and got this shot as we crossed over the tracks. |

Rebuild to 4 |
| Description: |
One of the GEs NS rebuilt to an AC44C4 leads this 103 platform train 215 south. BNSF has this model new from GE. Apparently, NS likes the concept. |

DPU and an automatic |
| Description: |
Back where I started, the DPU with an NS unit passes automatic 226-5 as it makes its way south. Time to head home after a quick out and back to Decatur, an efficient chase of two trains. |

Mixing them up |
| Description: |
The DPU on the coal train is a mix of home road and foreign power; usually there are a pair of KCS units added to the 2x1 these trains arrive at Kansas City with. |

Caught one |
| Description: |
A trip to the Alabama Gulf coast for us involves running US 65 from Pine Bluff to Lake Village, much of which is next to UPs ex MP line from Little Rock to Alexandria LA. Once in a while we see something, as on the return trip, where we caught a southbound with NS power and 172 cars. Note the railfan chase vehicle at left. |

I like lineside hardware, and by chance picked a spot with a signal. The train passes the automatic. |
