When You See So Many Trains It's a Blessing.

With yet another weekday with an abundance of free time, I found myself by the rails with a goal of catching one train...and that failed. So, instead of sulking in defeat, I decided to stick around and see what I could find; this is Atlanta, after all. And boy am I glad I did, because the Atlanta magic was in full effect today, I caught it all for your viewing pleasure. Truly is a nice feeling when you can come back from being trackside and not remember how many trains you saw.
Thank you @northernohiorailfanningpro8899 and @iceclimberGD for being so generous to lend me some videos. Make sure to check them both out for me. Their respective videos are here:
• Slug Units, EXPLAINED! Railfanning at...
• [4K] Train Stalling with Wheel Slips ...
Also shoutout to @HotspotsSoutheast and @csxnstrainman, whose uploads made me aware of the prized target...even if I missed it.
God bless. I'll see you soon, out on the High Iron.

The slug numbered 866 you saw is an ancient alco rebuild of an RSD12 in the 1950s. She was originally built for the nickel plate road, went to the N&W, then was rebuilt. She is one of less than 5 alco rebuilds still in operation on NS. Another fascinating part about this unit is that it worked with steam engines. The last of the NKP steam locomotives were retired in 1964, she was built in 1958.

I know exactly what that's like. I just missed a NS heritage SD70ACe this week, and I missed a rare FXE SD40-2 couple weeks ago 🤦.

Exactly right, apply the trainline about 10lbs, let it admit setup, bunch up the slack, release brakes while you're bunching it up, then pull on it. Time your brakes right and it normally works. Fairly simple physics like you said. So you had the right idea

The music used for that stupid all-EMD lashup is just perfect. A hint of chaos along with a hint of just pure bliss as you think "What in God's name am I looking at"

This is my n scale 0-6-0 when I give it 5 cars to pull and/or my dash 8 when I give it 10 cars.
