December on Norfolk Southern's AGS South

A couple of video's from the last couple of days. Mile Post 195 see's the usual suspect such as 393 stopping for signal work then starting up, NS 130, NS 172, NS 393 ..again and NS 225. As a type this I'm listening for NS 937. Looking forward to seeing what it is
On Thursday I got the Crescent's meeting at Bryant. 19 went in so 20 could pass.
Great horn work by all the crews so sit back and enjoy!

Norfolk Southern AGS South action in and around MP 195 at Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Of special note is NS 130 with two CSX motors blazing the trail up the the hill to MP 195 and my train spotting dog "Frisco" being sick track side as Train 19 comes by. Thanks for the extra horn so he could get in the clear

Better late than never is what I always say!



A bit of serendipity as I was cleaning gutters and heard this train. Having no idea that the Erie Unit was in the area I was taken by surprise to see it come out of the woods. Always better to be lucky than good
