Norfolk Southern's Atlanta to Macon Main DVD

This video shows the trains and operations at many points on Norfolk Southern's strategic Atlanta South district between Atlanta and Macon in southern Georgia.  This line serves as NS's gateway between south Georgia and Florida and the rest of their system.  The Atlanta South District, part of their Georgia Division, stretches for 94 miles between Inman Yard in Atlanta and Brosnan Yard in Macon.  Today this line is a heavy-duty main line with thick ballast, heavy rail, and two mile long controlled sidings about every eleven miles.  The number of trains on this critical section of track has doubled in the past 30 years.  This busy line through the rolling and often wooded countryside south of Atlanta is handling the most trains and tonnage of its one hundred and twenty year history.  This video shows the trains and operations for over 24 hours on Norfolk Southern's Atlanta South District in October of 2002.  113 minutes.
