Surprise! |
Description: |
It had been a really, REALLY bad day. I had missed photos ops on three trains, my navigator and chase director had gripped adout any and everything during the chase, and the overcast had pretty much made mucky gloom out of all of my photos. About 8pm, I was fed up and heading for home. I saw a green block signal=on Abutment Road, so I pulled up to the McFarland Road crossing and waited to snap one last photo of whatever came around the corner, figuring it would probablly be an old ugly GP38-2 the way)my luck had been running. To my surprise (I almost dropped the camera) an NS and CSX freight came rolling down the parallel mainlines, side by side. This is not a staged still shot, these things were moving along! In my 15+ years of rail-chasing in Dalton" i've never seen this happen before. Anyway, the NS was moving faster (about 35mph), and he got to Hair Diamond, three miles to the north, first. However, as CSX usually tajes precedence, 4768 was allowed to go through first. This photo just goes to show that good things come to those... |

I only go train chasing at certain times, usually about once a month. However, I never pass up a freebie! I was on my way home, driving across the tracks when I saw this freight coming way in the distance. I parked, got across the tracks to the old Calhoun Freight Depot, and snapped off this unplanned shot of a southbound grain train. |
