Here's an BNSF coal train coming over the Tennessee River in Decatur, Al. The train has trackage rights over the NS/ CSX shared bridge.
The sun became cooperative for a moment lit this one up as they made their way over.
Take a close look at the DPU in the rear. When it first comes into the shot it's belching black smoke.
Enjoy!

Here's something that's not seen too often on Youtube when it comes to railroading, switching. Though this wasn't the bigest of jobs, switching in general is one of the most inportant aspects of railroading but it often the most overlooked.
Enjoy!
