Columbus, Georgia has become a railwatchers paradise for me. It's an active railyard and apparently a changeover point for eastbound freight headed east from Birmingham (Alabama) to Macon (Georgia). I have seen and snapped photos of NS locomotives ranging from some pretty old (but pretty) GP's to a brand new unpainted SD (in primer green). NS has also run BNSF locomotives through here and last weekend I watched a couple of KCS locomotives pulling a west bound freight out of the yard. The AOE has also run through here... and with Fort Benning close by, I have seen several military trains depart through the yard. <br /> <br />The NS folks I have spoken to are very friendly once they figure out I'm not going to trespass (the property is clearly marked) or do something really stupid. They have caused a lot of cops down here (I am a reserve deputy sheriff) to become fans through their Operation Lifesaver program... in fact, there's a couple of us who would really love to take the locomotive ride we were promised but had to decline for other training going on of a more, ahem, official nature.
