Norfolk Southern's Memphis East District (Part 1)

In this video, I've compiled various clips from most of the locations along Norfolk Southern's Memphis East District between Sheffield and Stevenson, Alabama. This particular main line is the one I grew up on when I lived in Huntsville for the first 7 years of my life. Despite the fairly low traffic density nowadays, The awesome thing about this line is the variety of motive power from other railroads that one can see on a daily basis. UP and BNSF power is quite common and some other railroads' motive power can sometimes find its way onto some of the trains, such as the occasional CSXT locomotive, fallen flag power, and various heritage units. You'll see plenty of that and more in this video! In time, I hope to make more stops at other spots I didn't include in this compilation for a second part.

All-in-all, I hope y'all enjoy what I was able to catch between early October 2022 and early January 2023 on the NS Memphis East District!
