Title:  NS'S Alabama Division NA West End District
Description:  NS Eastbound Vehicle Train 270 ( Birmingham to Lincoln, Al. Honda Plant ) passing through Block 2 in North Birmingham, Al. as they cross from NA #3 to NA #2 with a rare SD60M leading the way, it has been several years since Ive caught a SD60M on BNSF, my apologies for the lighting conditions, it was the best light I could get for the time & direction the train was running, hopefully later on I can get better shots of this unit leading, I couldnt pass up shooting it though the light wasnt the perfect angle I strive for
