GTW 5824
Title:  GTW 5824
Description:  GTW 5824 serving the GAF plant in Mobile. This was taken off Florida St. They stopped and then rolled backwards into the GAF plant. It closed in early 2018 due to complaints about a stench coming from the plant and affecting the surrounding area, and this was the only picture I ever got of a train serving this plant before it closed.

ALE GP38-2s 3859 and 3863
Title:  ALE GP38-2s 3859 and 3863
Description:  Alabama Export Railroad (ALE) is a subsidiary of Mississippi Export Railroad (MSE). The ALE owns only two locomotives, EMD GP38-2 #3863 and EMD GP38-2 #3859. Both of these locomotives are ex HLCX leasers and both have a colorful history. It is not the best image of the duo, but it was hard to get a good shot because we were on the interstate on the opposite side from the yard they were in. My goal is to someday soon get a better shot of them both!

Both of these locomotives are ex HLCX leasers and both have a colorful history. This is the first picture on this site and maybe even on the internet of ALE 3863 and ALE 3859 (I have made many google searches, with no success, the only pic I have seen is of one of the two geeps on thedieselshop.net). It is not the best image of the duo, but sadly, the yard it was in, that I think is owned by ALE, is off limits to the public, and all the railcars from the NS yard made it harder to get a good shot of them. My goal is to someday soon get a better shot of them both!

CN 3172 stopped next to the Florida St. railroad crossing
Title:  CN 3172 stopped next to the Florida St. railroad crossing
Description:  CN 3172 Aboriginal Affairs sticker tier 4 GEVO stopped right next to the Florida St. railroad crossing with only the top headlights on. I could not tell if it was a DPU or if it was on the head of the consist. It was a coal consist that, surprisingly, was about 15 cars long. I also could not tell if anyone was in the cab at the time either. CN only runs 4 trains total in a day through Mobile, 2 early morning headed to Mississippi, and 2 late at night headed back from Mississippi.

CSX locos at Sibert
Title:  CSX locos at Sibert
Description:  Saw these when I was flying over CSX’s Sibert Yard. There appears to be maybe 3 AC44s (1 YN2 and 2 YN3), 1 ES44 of some sort (YN3), and an SD40-3 yard switcher shunting back a train of empties. I couldn’t get any numbers of any of these locos sadly, but it was still cool to see them.

ALE locos and an NS consist at Sibert
Title:  ALE locos and an NS consist at Sibert
Description:  Saw these when I was flying over CSX’s Sibert Yard. ALE 3859 and ALE 3863 were sitting in the ALE yard office/car shops, and there was an NS consist sitting in Sibert. I sadly couldn’t get any numbers of the NS units, but the lead unit appears to be an SD70ACC, the middle unit appears to be a Dash 9, and the rear unit appears to be either an SD70ACe, SD70ACU, or an SD70M-2. These locomotives were really strange/rare to see in Sibert, and it was cool to see all of the locos present.

Ex B&O hopper at Brookley Siding
Title:  Ex B&O hopper at Brookley Siding
Description:  I saw a westbound CSX manifest on Sunday passing a local train sitting in the siding, and the manifest passed with either a CW44 or a GEVO on the point. I couldn’t really see due to the trees blocking my view, and I could not get a good quality picture off the head end. It took me by surprise since it was flying by at track speed. Near the end of the manifest, I saw this ex B&O gem behind another CSX hopper, and it caught my eye. I am so fortunate to have seen one of these, since there are not many Chessie System railcars left in original paint like this. I also like the rust and weathering, it really contributes to the worn out look.

Title:  CSX 3175 at Brookley Siding
Description:  CSX 3175 sitting at Brookley Siding waiting for another train to pass it before it can continue into CSX’s Sibert Yard. It is very hard to see the details of the engine because of the sun being bad and giving off a glare that makes for terrible lighting.

NS grain transfer at Sibert
Title:  NS grain transfer at Sibert
Description:  An NS grain train transfer waits to depart CSX’s Sibert Yard in Mobile, AL. The engines were idling, but there was no crew inside the engines or anywhere to be seen. It is being lead by a GEVO, with 2 AC44C6M’s trailing. I could not see how long the train was due to the hopper cars on the track next to the road blocking my view.
