Under the lights |
| Description: |
I spent an afternoon at Dalton GA, where NS crosses CSX. It was a fairly busy day, and the sun actually came out for a while. During that stretch, I caught this southbound freight behind a standard cab SD 70 rolling 46 cars under the signals for the diamond, which is just to the north. |

One of the GEs NS rebuilt to an AC44C4 leads this 103 platform train 215 south. BNSF has this model new from GE. Apparently, NS likes the concept. |

Half and half |
| Description: |
A southbound stack train rolls past the Dalton station. It had a total of 137 platforms, 62 loaded, and 75 empty. Must have been repositioning. Thats a lot of empty space, but probably saved them a baretable train. |
