Emory Gap |
Description: |
NS 167 makes a brief stop at Emory Gap, Tennessee. The train has stopped to set off some cars here for the local to handle. However, only two of 167's units are functioning and at the moment the engineer is talking to the dispatcher about the situation. Doubtful that he would make it up the hill out of Rockwood with only one D9-40CW. |

At the Top |
Description: |
After an exhausting hike, 390+ feet from the bottom of the river gorge up an old trail, I found my way to the top of the New River viaduct to finally check out the view from above. It wasn't long before NS 177 showed up and started its journey over the impressive 1,168ft span. |

Inside Tunnel 24 |
Description: |
The interior of the 24th Rathole on the CNO&TP. This tunnel has not had tracks since 1963, but has held up amazingly well considering it was first bored in 1880. Cold, wet and foggy a sppoky feeling can overcome one in here. |

NS 2617 |
Description: |
NS SD70M #2617 sits dead and crewless blocking the main at Oneida, Tennessee. The trailing SD70 was idling away but it appears this unit has quit doing the job. Photo was taken at 1:28pm, train was still dead on the main when I drove back through at 6:49pm. Regardless, it was nice seeing a EMD SD70 series duo on the point of this freight. |

NS 2835 |
Description: |
NS 196 charges through Spring City, Tennessee about to pass a clear signal displayed on vintage searchlights from the original Southern Railway. Those searchlights aren't the only original piece of the Southern Railway in this picture...trailing third out on the train is a now rare GP38AC of the former Southern. This unit would be set off in Emory Gap about 20 miles north of here for use on the local, NS T36. A D9-40CW leads the charge with an ex-Conrail standard cab SD60, #6700, the class unit second out. |

Description: |
With a crew less than 30 minutes from being dead on hours, a empty grain train high tails it through Spring City at trackspeed. They just passed a loaded autorack, normally higher priority in the siding. The dispatcher is doing all he can to get these guys to Harriman, park them in South Water siding and get a relief crew on duty. |

CSX 220 |
Description: |
Its a hot mid-morning in Nashville, Tennessee as a CSX manifest eases through downtown with a pair of AC4400CW's. The train is on a unique structure that bridges over the Tennessee State Capitol park. A visitor's center is located in the bridge, virtually a part of it on the under side. There is also a picnic area under it as well. A unique setting for railroad photography in this ever evolving, beautiful downtown park. |

Signs of the Southern - Signs of the End |
Description: |
Signs of the Southern...and they're going fast. The viewer of this photo likely doesn't know what lurks just south of that old searchlight. A pile of Safetran signal materials. The end is knocking at the door. These are my favoritie signals to railfan with, the CP North Spring City signals. I spent some time this evening saying a long goodbye. |
