Description:  CSXT Southbound Doublestack Train Q181 ( Birmingham, Al. to Atlanta, Ga. Fairburn Intermodal Facility ) stopped at 2nd Avenue in Birmingham, Al. waiting on a signal to proceed to get onto home rails of CSXT. These trains Q181, Q183, Q185, Q184, Q186, & Q180 interchange to & from BNSF at East Thomas Yard & run on the NS Alabama Division NA West End District for a few miles to get to & from the CSXT where they run to LaGrange, Ga. then north from there to the Fairburn Intermodal Facility. Warbonnets are a rarity these days so even though this one was in sad shape in the paint department I took it anyway, numberboards are also retardedly mismatched
