Chasing CSX W999-21 on the Columbia Sub

Here's a video of CSX GE High & Wide special W999-21 traveling southbound on the Columbia Sub towards Charleston (via Fairfax and Yemassee) with a solo EMD SD40-2 (kinda ironic, isn't it?) doing the honors. Having already known that this train ran into Cayce the previous afternoon from Laurens (interchanged from the Carolina Piedmont Railway), I set my sights out to chase W999 down the traffic deprived Columbia Sub until it met F757-22 somewhere and then I would follow that train back north. Due to a variety of reasons (such as the weather, school, and car issues), I decided to terminate my chase early at the S.E. of Woodford siding. Originally, I was going to stop in Swansea, but failed to beat W999 here in time, so I decided to go down to Woodford. Will say that I'm glad I did as I got a great shot to the H&W special passing the old Seabord era signals at this location. As always, enjoy the video!

Awesome catch and solo SD40-2 leader! Interesting load too! Honestly, when I read in the description that they were GE gas turbines, I thought of the UP Gas Turbines for some reason.
