On the south-end of the Chattanooga Terminal (CT) and the AGS North-End we see the short slop-freight NS 143 (Elkhart,IN-Birmingham,AL) cursing pass the derail sight from the July 14th crossing accident at Wauhatchie (MP-AGS 5.3/248.1-A Wauhatchie). With a western visitor is at the helms of the train, NS 143 has the track authority from Wauhatchie to Crudup where the train will meet the northbound NS 130 before continuing south for Birmingham, AL.
Coal and steel don't go bad. This album features long, slow, heavy freight trains; drag freights, slop freights, dead freights, etc. Trains with lots of power, and lots of different cargo slogging along behind.
