September 22, 2019 - Ever have one of those days where you wait, wait and wait some more, but a train never shows up for the picture you want to take? Well, fellow railfans, Bill Crecco, Ryan Scott and I waited for over 3 hours here at Tunnel Hill, Georgia for a northbound train before finally giving up and heading to another location. I even came back for about another 30 minutes later in the day without any luck at this spot on the Chattanooga Subdivision. Some days are just like that, but still I got a good shot of them waiting on a train! If you too have shots you like, where you are waiting on a train, then you might want to join my Waiting on a Train Photography Group!

September 22, 2019 - A Norfolk Southern loaded grain train prepares to pass through the NS/CSX Diamond in downtown Dalton, Georgia as it heads south on the NS Georgia Division. According to the website http://railfanlocations.weebly.com/ Downtown Dalton, Georgia is a railfan hotspot with 40 to 45 trains in an average day. Dalton is one of the few (if not only) places in Georgia where the CSX and Norfolk Southern Railway cross each other at grade. Norfolk Southern sold the former Southern Railway freight depot to the City of Dalton. The city has restored the old freight station and created an excellent train watching location, as well as a visitor’s center.
