Trains Magazine General Discussion

Hello all!
I just started dating a woman that lives about 300 yards from the NS line in Gurly Al. where it paralells route 72. Does anyone know how I can get a schedual of traffic in that area so I can do some rail fanning and video?? I’ve seen NS, BNSF and CSX all on that line.
Some times they run every 1/2 hour and some times you won’t see a train for 4-6 hours.
It’s mostly coal and intermodal.
Any help would be great!

Thanks
Tom

Mucho coal - which can run anytime. Most of it is Powder River Basin coal headed for GA. Usually BNSF power. Two ACs on the head end and one on the rear. There are a couple pair of merchandise trains, and 3 intermodal trains, but much of the action is in the dead of night. Two of intermodal trains only run at the end of the week.
