Eastern Railroad Discussion > Early August SightingsDate: 08/14/18 03:09 Early August Sightings Author: NSSpike A few from the west Georgia area on the the NS Alabama & Georgia Divisions in early August.
#1. Managed to capture this east bound manifest NS 172 (NEW ORLEANS, LA (UP QLINSL) - LINWOOD, NC) as a heavy shower tapered off just as it was entering Temple Georgia. On the siding, the former CSX unit is seen here in an opening through the empty spline cars on NS 23D (ATLANTA, GA – SHREVEPORT, LA (KCS IKAILC / UP-KAILC).NOTE the green tint on the rail and cars. Not sure what created this effect other then the rain drops and lights trricking my camera??? #2. NS 24E (DALLAS, TX (KCS IDAAT2) - ATLANTA, GA) on the #1 main south bound at Mabelton Georgia. #3. On the #1 main a south bound Powder River Basin coal drag NS 732 rolls past a tied down NS M72 (NEW ORLEANS, LA (UP QLINSL) - LINWOOD, NC) on the #2 main at NS Inman Yard Atlanta Georgia. ...more to follow...

With the single UP # 8917 for power NS 298 (NEW ORLEANS, LA - ATLANTA, GA) works the “S” curves west Douglasville, Georgia.
#5. Having been brought back into service a 1989 built SD60M UP#2297 Triclops unit leads NS 172 east bound into Temple Georgia. #6. An LATC stack NS 226 (SHREVEPORT, LA(UP ZLCAI) - ATLANTA, GA) east bound on the Alabama East End just west of Douglasville, Georgia. ... more to follow.... Phil Maton Villa Rica, GA Date: 08/14/18 03:12 Re: Early August Sightings Author: NSSpike #7 - #9. NS 339 (MACON, GA – MERIDIAN, MS (KCS MNSJA) into Temple Georgia with the Lackawanna #1074 leading a pair of KCS Belle units on the main. It would hold the main at Temple for NS 154 (BIRMINGHAM, AL - LINWOOD, NC)
