I'm new to the forum, and new to Alabama. I have been an ardent railroader in upstate New York for over 20 years. The last few months, I have seen countless numbers of flatcars move through Central Alabama via CSX between Montgomery & Birmingham with huge, hollow, bulbous looking things on them. I don't know how to describe them, but thought maybe they are fuel tanks for naval ships, or possibly some sort of enormous chemical processing chambers.... ??? Anyone have a clue what I'm talking about and know what in the world they are ? Thanks !
Also, any reference to railfanning on the South side of Birmingham (Pelham-Alabaster-Calera area) would be helpful.
