Trains of the South 2024 Vol. 3

The months of July and August were very good for railfanning. This video begins with a chase of a BNSF manifest through southeast Arkansas, but then quickly pivots to a series of days full of heritage units beginning with NS 8098 (Conrail). Just a few days after the Conrail unit led NS 289, CSX 1871 (Atlantic Coast Line) came into Memphis leading a train, and then only a few days later, CN 3008 (Illinois Central) came south leading CN A488. This video takes you through the beautiful states of Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas on some pretty decent weather for summer in the South. Please enjoy Trains of the South 2024!
