My road warrior summer continues, and I've been all over the south east with my new work responsibilities.
But still, the trains, I cross paths with them. I even found some energized overhead wire! Woo hoo!

Meet in front of the tower near Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham. This is truly a 'hot spot', with many trains from Norfolk Southern, CSX, and Kansas City Southern moving through. |
|
The Sloss Furnaces visitor center is nestled in the actual junction trackage. Here's a view to east/south east . . . |

. . . and a view west as the junction track curves to the north |

Outside of Sloss Furnaces also looking west. |

If there is energized wire, I will find it or it will find me. Was doing executive nonsense in the executive lounge of the Hilton in Charlotte, North Carolina, when I looked up and caught this view of the light rail. |
