    Great shot! Too, the man atop the hood on the 311 would be tied off nowadays, assuming he'd even be permitted to be there at all.

    As seen in June 1988, a unit coal train heads south through Georgiana, AL on the former L&N main between Montgomery and Mobile. As seen in the second picture, a branch to Andalusia, AL and Opp, AL left the main here.

    Nice Stealth unit leading! The middle unit is an SD45-2, nearest I can tell from some quick googling. I thought it was an SD50.

    About 60 miles east of Montgomery is Opelika, AL which finds a depot and the crossing of the Western Railway of Alabama's line to Atlanta and the Central of Georgia's line between Birmingham and Columbus, GA. In May of 1985 I caught NS with a southbound and in February 1990, CSX moving past the coaling tower with the 7526 leading a westbound.

    Cool catch! I had forgotten that those former EMD Demo units had been repainted by 1989.
