NS 137, hot on the heels of NS 921, has its turn at the MP366 sign. NS 137 was held up behind the 921 for a meet with the east bound NS 336 back in town in Alexander City, AL.
NS 921 Herzog rock train shuffles past the MP366 milepost between Alexander City and Kellyton, AL heading West with several tons of ballast. This is the NS (Central of Georgia) P-Line between Columbus, GA and Birmingham, AL.
After meeting the opposing NS 336 in downtown, NS 921 Herzog train continues on West across Commerce Drive and along side Washington Street in Alexander City, AL.
With three trains in downtown at once, you can better believe that there were many very unhappy motorists (and one VERY happy photographer!) in downtown Alexander City, AL. Here, NS 336 is just feet away from the West end switch preparing to take the sideing for a meet with the NS 921 Herzog...
With the almost completely shuttered Russell Corp. in the background, NS 336 negotiates the big curve heading into downtown Alexander City, AL as it prepares for a meet with two West bound trains in town. Old #1 mill behind the train has been standing for many, many years.
On yet _another_ dreary Alabama day, NS 336 does its best to brighten up the scene with this great looking pumpkin BNSF motor. This scene is at the MP364 on the NS P-Line in Alexander City, AL. The 336 is headed East into downtown for a meet with two West bound trains, the NS 921 and the NS 137.
Pulling the steep grade up from the Lake Martin (Tallapoosa River) trestle, NS 921 approaches the crest of the hill on the East end of Alexander City, AL. This is a loaded Herzog Ballast Train heading West towards Birmingham on the NS P-Line on the Central of Georgia Alabama Division Birmingham Sub.
Seen in Hollins, AL, this is the only short stretch of track that NS has in Clay County. NS 335 heads West through town as it approaches Trammells Hill in Talladega County.
NS 335 pulls into Goodwater, AL on the NS (Central of Georgia) P-Line. This was a boom town after the railroad arrived here in the late 1800's. There was a turntable here, since this was the end of the line for several years on the trip up from Columbus, GA.
Hot on the heels of NS 137, this shows NS 335 in the second big curve in Kellyton, AL. This train had been delayed due to 137 breaking a drawbar pin in downtown Alexander City, AL, delaying them both for around 5 hours.
NS 137, after being delayed for about 5 hours in Alex City due to a broken pin in a drawbar 10 cars back from the head end, rolls West through Kellyton, AL aroun one of two big curves in that area. The day is dark, dreary and rainy today.
NS 137 sits patiently in Alexander City, AL on the main waiting for the Mechanical Dept. to show up. Seems a pin dropped out of the draw bar 10 cars back, separating the air hose and throwing the train into emergency. Two crossings are blocked, causing drivers to have to have to find alternate...
NS (Central of Georgia) Train 335 approaches the flang oiler leaving out of downtown Alexander City, AL on the NS P-Line heading West to Birmingham, AL.
