(please read description)

This video isn't much for looks, but the sound was incredible!

I was trying my best to catch up to a Southbound train I had seen in Ft. Payne a little earlier, but was having no luck and light was fading fast. The weather was much less than cooperative as well. Headed South on US11, I heard, through the static on my scanner, a Northbound Track Warrant being issued for a train not far from where I was. I stopped under a bridge out of the rain and barely had time to turn on my camera before I saw the headlight down the line. Due to conditions, and poor radio reception, I was unable to ID this train nor the locomotives powering it. The second unit, a former EMD demonstrator (SD70 I think) made it's presence know with screaming radiator fans! You could literally hear this train for miles! Sorry for the shakes, I was cold and didn't have time to set up a tripod.

Location:

3 mi south of Keener, Al. on US11 Under the I59 bridge.

Railroad:

Norfolk Southern AGS North End.

Sorry for the lack of videos lately. The past month has been really tough for me. For those that don't know, I lost my mother on 10-19-10. I have been dealing with that along with everything else (school, work, etc..) since then. It has been hard to find time to get out much. I have a huge backlog of videos from the past year that I hope to get pieced together and uploaded soon.

Thanks for watching!
