Norfolk Southern Norris Yard / Irondale, Alabama Railroad Activity
Downtown Irondale sits on the edge of Norfolk Southern's Norris Yard so the tracks there see a lot of activity, The city has viewing platforms on both sides of the tracks. One platform is across the street from the Irondale Cafe, famous because of Fried Green Tomatoes.
The locomotives on the train backing eastbound into Norris Yard are NS 3269 and NS 3332. The locomotives on the westbound train leaving the yard are NS 9806, NS 8901 and UP 9807.
This video would have continued much longer, but I stopped to relocate the camera to get a better shot of Amtrak 19, the southbound Crescent.
[44] Slow Start But Catching Up, Railfanning Irondale and Birmingham AL, 11/22/2016 ©mbmars01
Several main lines of CSX and Norfolk Southern end in Irondale and Birmingham, Alabama, which makes this area an eldorado for railfans. Action, however, was initially slow on this late November day, but it got better toward the evening (of course!). While this is normally not good news for video recording, the train watching platform at the south end of Norfolk Southern's big Norris Yard in Irondale offers great opportunities, though, because the trains pass by it in close distance. Enjoy! [© 2016 MBMARS Productions. Exclusive rights for YouTube channel mbmars01 only.]
