Surprise!
Title:  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...

Track Maintenence at Hair
Title:  Track Maintenence at Hair
Description:  CSX was doing some heavy duty rail-pulling this September morning, and NS trains were required to proceed slowly and stop just before reaching the work limit. This train was given permission to proceed through the stop signals shortly after this photo was taken. A video of the action from this day of railfanning is available on my website.

Kudzu
Title:  Kudzu
Description:  One of the hazards of railfanning in Georgia in the summertime is the man-eating kudzu plant! Originally brought in by the railroads from Russia to control erosion along the right-of-way, the stuff turned out to be a bigger problem than the problem it was brought in to control! Soon, vast areas of Geogia, Alabama, and Mississippi were eaten by the plant! It grows on anything and everything it touches (there is a utility pole under it out of picture to the left), and it grows so fast that it actually even grows on the tracks themselves! Take a knife with you along with your camera!
