"153, Sewell, Clear"
I don't know what they're teaching the new conductors down in McDonough, but the new hires for a little bit were calling signals weird, like the trainee was doing here at Sewell & other control points.
Anyways, the Annual Meeting of the East End Squatters Club (iykyk; thanks Kyle) occured here because for 2022 standards, this was a good one, especially for us east of the Mississippi. NS 153 is seen east of Bremen, GA with a pair H1 paint Dash 9's on the point. There were a number of these making their way through the southeast in the spring of 2022 after a number were brought out of storage by BNSF earlier in the year, with many going to NS to pay off horsepower-hour debts, including this paired duo. Upon hearing that the duo got put on the point of 153, this naturally caused a stir with the Atlanta & Birmingham railfans & lead to a number of them coming out on this Saturday to document their trip down the East End. 5-7-22
