Hi everyone.
The Alrails Yahoo group had an impromptu meet at Irondale, Al yesterday to hang out, shoot trains and enjoy the awesome weather. For anyone interested in alrails check it out here... http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/alrails/
After a busy morning at the Norris Yard shooting NS and Amtrak, we had lunch at the famous Irondale Cafe (Green Fried Tomatoes ). From there, we all headed to the downtown area to shoot from an overpass. While we were there, the local Fox news crew stopped by and interviewed several of the guys and shot video! We may make the news and, hopefully, present railfans in good light to the local general public, law enforcement, and railroad employees.
My thanks to Alrails admin Dale Burns for organizing this get together. Dale also runs a very cool railfanning site, http://www.alabamarailpics.com/
If we ever mixed the Alrails group with the ARG, we'd probably go critical mass!
Here are a few sample pics...
NS approach to Norris Yard.
Power on tap.
Amtrak heads toward downtown Birmingham.
