Normal routing for these trains is through Atlanta, Ga. Chattanooga, Tn. over to Sheffield, Al. & eventually Memphis, Tn. where they get back to BNSF Home Rails there, when crew availability is an issue or traffic density or maybe a curfew AKA track work is going on the empties are rerouted from Macon, Ga. through Columbus, Ga. & Birmingham, Al. where they head up the NA District to Sheffield, Al. then over to Memphis, Tn. or they can be rerouted via the East End District from Atlanta, Ga. to Birmingham, Al. & up the NA District to Sheffield, Al. & over to Memphis, Tn. where they get back to BNSF Home Rails |
