Great shot. Interesting how they're all four-axle units, William. Do they have an axle restriction toward Talledega?

Thanks Geneva, I have seen SD40-2's & other 6 axles run on the Talladega Turn, but it's rare, I don't believe they're supposed to run 6 axles on the spur where they connect with EARY. There are certain places where we're not supposed to run 6 axles on some territories I work on, but what we usually do is talk with the dispatcher & they get permission for us to occupy industry spurs with 6 axles where they aren't supposed to go, dispatcher calls train masters & they give the Ok, one instance is Con Agra spur in Falkville, Al.
