Welcome to Gawdoe
Title:  Welcome to Gawdoe
Description:  A diverted CSX train rolls into Gordo, Alabama. Due to a kid burning a trestle down on CSX's main line north of Mobile, WATCO's Alabama Southern is once again seeing diverted CSX frieghts. I despise widecabs with a passion but it is nice I admit to see them waddling down a shortlines poor road bed and track at IOmph instead of zooming along at 50-60mph.

Hi There, Come Here Often?
Title:  Hi There, Come Here Often?
Description:  If its rare to catch a GTR unit setting all by its lonesome, its even more so to catch one "having a meet". Here, Watco's Alabama Southern Reform-Artesia turn starts its struggle uphill past the GTRA 819 after having just come downhill. Luckily for the ABS guys they had a short train.

Description:  Alabama Southern's Reform-Artesia Turn starts back up hill as the middle of the train is still being pulled up to and on top of the hill. No, Mississippi isn't flat. At the time of taking this pic I was laid off. Depressed? Heck no! I got to come back home and was enjoying it.

WAMX 4117
Title:  WAMX 4117
Description:  Alabama Southern’s Reform-Artesia Turn heads east through Stafford, AL under an abandoned county timber road bridge. The bridge has been closed for at least 10 years. These old rural wooden bridges are a bit of a Southern hallmark and I’d driven across it a few times before its closure. Having taken many images from this bridge, I opted to take one from ground level being that I never had done so and that a few recent cold snaps have put the slither smilies away for the winter.

KCS 4886
Title:  KCS 4886
Description:  A run through oil train bound for Tuscaloosa trundles through Stafford, AL. The ES44AC shines former KCS iron now leased to the Alabama Southern as it lugs its tonnage under an abandoned county timber bridge that I'd traveled over back in its heyday more than once. Having been closed within the past decade, it makes for a nice prop in the viewfinder.

Title:  CN 8886
Description:  The SD70M-2’s last stand on a class 1. CN and NS were the only class 1 takers of the model however NS retired and disposed of theirs recently. So CN is the last hold out and one of which is seen here on the point of an oil train strung across the expansive wooden trestle over the Black Warrior River in Tuscaloosa waiting its chance to enter Watco’s Alabama Southern yard before being routed to Hunt Oil in Tuscaloosa.
