On the blue hour NS 22N (Rossville,TN-Atlanta,GA) has finally made it to the eastern side of Tennessee from it's origination point of Rossville, TN in on the outskirts of Memphis. The inbound crew had tied the train down on the 0 track but left the second motor running, it was gonna be while before a rested outbound crew would go on duty to take the double stack train to Atlanta, and judging on what the dispatcher was saying to the inbound crew it was gonna be "good long while!"
Railroading is a 24 hour a day business, that never sleep. From sunset to sunrise the railroad must run. These image are taken by some of the best rail photographer out their.
