After the CSX crossing in central Dalton, the NS and CSX routes to Atlanta diverge, but not before the grade separation shown.

After crossing the CSX main at speed in Dalton, this NS train shows a little smoke,as the man in charge notches up slightly.

The view from the bank parking garage facing the_tracks in Dalton is like a seat on the 50-yard line. You can watch 'em ALL go from there.

The bore at Tunnel Hill is the only tunnel on the Western & Atlantic Sub. The "modern" bore is 460+ meters in length, and was built in 1928. The old bore (to the right) was finished in 1850. It was a target for Andrew's raiders in 1862, but survived the Civil War undamaged. It was closed when the new bore opened, and was actually "lost" for a few years as Kudzuu consumed the tunnel entrances on both sides of the mountain. The old bore is now part of a walking trail.

A CSX intermodal catches the last light of the day as it arrives on the west side of the bore

That light at the end of the tunnel just might be an oncoming train!

The active mainline used by CSX is the one shown, while the historic tunnel that the Great Locamotive Chase took place is is covered by trees and is off to the right, which is where the road off to the"left takes you to.
