Atlantic Coast Line Savannah Terminal

View Savannah Terminal -- Railfan sites in a larger map I found this rail fan site for the Atlantic Coast line.  I made a personal Google Map of all of the viewing spots.  the next time i visit Savannah I will check them out and see if I can get some good views of some trains hauling freight.

Painting a train

Image
I am a spray painting fan boy.  I have done airbrushing in the past and will do it again someday.  I found this video of a time lapse of the Norfolk Southern companies paint crew painting the veterans train.  It shows how much work it takes to paint a train.  i like the way they have a pain booth with mobile scaffolding that is on movable tracks.

The Tehachapi Loop

View Larger Map I was looking on YouTube at train video and I found this very nice video of the Tehachapi Loop.  The Tehachapi Loop helps get trains into the central California valley from the Mojave desert. I have a link to a Google map of the loop so that you can see where it is located. this will give you an appreciation of the engineering of the railroad. I have driven through this area, but I have never taken the time to get off the highway to inspect the loop.
