Bradley Bates General Nice shot, how did you chase the CR Heritage unit from Vance, AL. to Temple, GA. & get these shots from MS too? 5/4/2012 1:39:16 PM
William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks Bradley, This was the day before the CR Heritage Unit ran leading 22R, I was told that the CR Heritage Unit trailed on 22Q while I was in Jackson, Ms. Since the CR Heritage Unit trailed on 22Q it was a good candidate to lead 22R the next day, so I had some of my NS contacts keep track of it & when I got confirmation it was leading 22R I headed for Meridian to wait on it, came through too early around 1:00 am, so I headed for Tuscaloosa, ran too early for there too, finally the sun started rising as they got to Vance, Al. where BAM !!!!!!!! I nailed them there & followed them to Georgia til I couldn't shoot them anymore, got 12 shots in total, the shots on the east end could've been much better had it not been for the Amtrash delay, that long delay allowed the sun angles to get bad most places, but there were still some spots to shoot them with good light 5/4/2012 1:59:24 PM
