Nothing like a cab ride to brighten up a dreary day like that one back in 1990. Here are a few highlights from the cab ride with the Spartanburg, SC yard crew. The power that day was CSX GP38-2 #2615, still in its rusty L&N paint scheme, and CSX GP40-2 #6390, still in its Georgia RR paint scheme. First thing was to go work the NS interchange. But, there was a surprise as we rounded the corner. The NS crew had arrived to switch the interchange as well. Then we worked out way back to the north end of the old Clinchfield yard (Beaumont yard). While there we met the Forrester local coming back in the yard, and a northbound empty hopper train headed out of the yard. Then we drag a cut of cars from Beaumont yard to the yard office and start down the hill towards the tunnel under NS. It was starting to get dark at that point. A few scenes after that were included just for the cool sounds down around the tunnel and working the Lower (ex ACL) Yard.
