Many GA highways run right along or close to railroads; and if you make a turn, you are on the tracks.  On the other hand, it makes for good train watching.

Now there's some truly awesome reporting...the first sentence in the article is "A truck driver was fatally injured Wednesday afternoon after a train derailed in Chauncey."  As though a train just happened to derail and strike an innocent bystander standing (or parked) in the vicinity of the tracks. When according to the NS spokeswoman, "the log truck had stopped on the track and the train engineer sounded the horn, but couldn't stop in time. The train partially derailed after the crash."
Emphasis mine.

NS had another incident on the line between Ft. Valley, GA, and Columbus, GA.  Please see https://www.13wmaz.com/article/traffic/man-killed-toddler-injured-in-taylor-county-train-wreck/93-38275e38-1eff-4073-afbb-871cc8058eb0
