Law Enforcement

Not in a million years did I think I was gonna go to bed Friday night and wake up the next morning ready to head for Western Alabama. Waking up just after 7, we made our way west for Cowan to meet with Brian and head for Decatur Alabama for CSXT 3194 the Law Enforcement motor on the point of Q514-10. My buddy Andrew was perched north of Birmingham, and kept us updated. The more we sat and waited, the more it looked like it was gonna come after dark. We all made our way down to Cullman after hearing about a possible 4:15 PM CST. As 5 rolled around we thought screw it and started to head home. That's when Andrew called and said he was on the move and to head for Hanceville, AL. We arrived ahead of Q202 running just before Q514-10 and settled in for the wait. Just after Q202 went by, I had the great idea to call the Hanceville PD and ask if an officer would like to come see the locomotive? Turns out, they sent an officer that was working his last shift with the Hanceville PD. What an amazing send off! After that, we headed for Cullman and I only shot video there. Then we shot north for Decatur. I called ahead of time and asked if any of their officers would also like to come out and two came out for about and hour and a half. Slow night lol. They were very pleased to have the chance to see the locomotive, and even more pleased to have their photos taken with the unit!
