Good Looking Track
I was on an overpass of the rail line feeding the railroad bridge that crosses Wheeler Lake on the Tennessee River in Decatur, Alabama. Imagine my surprise when this strange consist passed underneath. It turned out to be FRA DOTX 219: A Track Geometry Car operated by the US Department of Transportation and hauled around the country to check the geometry -- and condition -- of rail.
Right place at the right time!
