Last October, my wife called me from her school, which is near the NS main line from Birmingham, Alabama, to Macon, Georgia. She said there were a "couple of weird looking locomotives parked outside her school just sitting there." (I have trained her to accept my eccentricities with a certain amount of tolerance. She no longer calls them "choo choos".) I grabbed my camera and caught NS train 198A3 doing a crew change. The "weird looking locomotives" were BNSF #4104, a Dash 9-44CW (I can read the type locomotive off the side), and UP 4121, type unknown, although I think it's an SD something or other MAC. Hidden behind those two was NS's contribution to the mix, apocalyptically numbered 9666. I got to talk briefly to the outgoing conductor, who said "the BNSF engine was real pretty and clean; really rode well." <br /> <br />If I can ever figure out how to post pictures from my discs, I'll be happy to; I also have shots of the AOE going through Columbus, Georgia last summer in broad daylight. That started off a high speed train chase into Alabama which the AOE won.... <br /> <br />Erik
