    Blocking Traffic In Downtown

    With three trains in downtown at once, you can better believe that there were many very unhappy motorists (and one VERY happy photographer!) in downtown Alexander City, AL. Here, NS 336 is just feet away from the West end switch preparing to take the sideing for a meet with the NS 921 Herzog...

    Brighting Up The Day

    On yet _another_ dreary Alabama day, NS 336 does its best to brighten up the scene with this great looking pumpkin BNSF motor. This scene is at the MP364 on the NS P-Line in Alexander City, AL. The 336 is headed East into downtown for a meet with two West bound trains, the NS 921 and the NS 137.

    Rain, Rain, Go Away!

    On yet ANOTHER dreary rainy day in Alabama, NS 334 is seen here blasting through Kellyton, AL on the NS (Central of Georgia) P-Line heading East to Columbus, GA. Alabama and the whole Southeast has had way more than it's share of rain this '09-'10 Winter! Enough already!
