Atlanta Rails	General	Awesome shot and catch! I didnt know the light was this good in Attalla, might have been worth the trip for me.	1/30/2012 9:51:07 PM

William H. Davis Jr.	General	Thanks Nikos, I didn't know about it until about 7:00 am this morning, I was almost too late myself, I didn't actually get the shot I wanted in Springville, but I guess I should be happy I caught it at all, the nose light was going away in Attalla, but still a decent shot, better with the wide angle lens, when I got to Trussville the train was already going by & I got off on HWY 11 costing me the Springville shot, at least I caught it in Attalla, I had to get back on the interstate at Argo to beat the train to Attalla, back to back days FXE power has led 130, interchanges from UP so obviously that FXE 4031 came off the UP	1/30/2012 10:05:57 PM

Jeffery Gordon	General	Nice shot, Glad we got this. You said the day before itll be a matter of time before FXE aces come, now BAM! its on 367 tonight coming back. Hope more comes soon.	1/31/2012 1:26:43 AM

Fred Stuckmann	General	Very nice shot.	1/31/2012 9:02:17 AM

William H. Davis Jr.	General	Thanks Jeffery & Fred, yeah, that's ironic Jeffery, I knew it would happen eventually, but sure didn't expect it that soon, thanks to Josh Putnam letting me know soon enough I was able to catch it just in time, I say if I was another few minutes later & didn't see the train going by Trussville I'd missed it thinking it hadn't gone by yet, I never heard them get their track warrant	1/31/2012 9:11:55 AM

NS Northbound Freight Train 130 ( New Orleans, La. to Chattanooga, Tn. ) passing through Attalla, Al. with a rare FXE SD70ACe le\ding the way, FXE has made several appearances on NS, BNSF, & CSXT over the years, but only a few times I have caught FXE SD70ACe's, usually they're ES44AC's or AC4400CW, to date I have only caught 3 FXE SD70ACe's leading trains, 2 of them leading NS freights & 1 leading a UP freight, so not very common in the southeast, but it can be quite common to see FXE on UP in the southwest, once I caught 2 UP trains back to back with solid consists of FXE power, obviously interchanged with FXE somewhere
