NS W34 observes the 10 MPH slow order through Alexander City, AL. I set the camera up on the mini-tripod and sat it on top of one of the NS Call Boxes, then backed off to shoot some stills. Be sure to pay attention to the end of the train, where you can hear the whining of the EOT (FRED).

NS 137 crosses the diamond in Sylacauga, AL. The line it's crossing is the EARY line, built as the Southern most leg of the L&N Alabama Mineral Belt Railroad that ran from Anniston through Talladega, Sylacauga, and into Calera, AL where it joined up with the South & North Alabama Railroad.
This shows NS Train 918 on the NS P-Line (former Central of Georgia) main through Alexander City, AL on Feb. 1, 2008. What started out being a very cold, damp, overcast day has now become a bright sunshiny early afternoon.
