*VERY RARE*Railfanning Selma: Very short Q140-27+late P089 & P079+1st ACe leader on 349+1st SD90MAC

My brother said he could take me to Selma after heading back from a small trip so I was all for it. I am super glad we went. We arrived there, an only being there for 5 minutes and me hearing CSX on my scanner, the lights of it popped out all the way down the track so I ran into position, maybe a little bit too close to the trackside but it worked for me and Q140-27 passed though 5 minutes later. Amtrak P089 passed through almost an hour later and then P079 12 minutes later. Then I decided to wait for NS 349 to do something, I soon realized that it wasn't going anywhere for quite a while, so I decided since we had to leave, to get a close up of it since I saw it by the road pulling in to Selma. I go my close up shots, then a side shot and zoomed pic of its cab with my phone. Then we down the road to eventually the end of 349 but we were heading the wrong way to get home, we turned around and I remember seeing SD9043MAC 7307 through 349, so I wanted to get a better shoot of it while we were heading home. So I think today was a very productive day. Please leave a like down below and get this video to 50 LIKES! Subscribe it you're new to my channel and I'll do my best to sub back. This is CJ out...

More NS power!! :D Liked that ACe leading...and nice catch on the SD90!! There's only TEN left in service for NS right now, 30 have been rebuilt as SD70ACU's and the other 60 are in storage waiting to be rebuilt. Great video!

Awesome catches! Nice EMD power on NS 349.

Awesome. That Q140 was really using the horn there! And 27 cars is really short for Q140. Love the spot you picked for the 2 amtraks, Selma seems like a place that I would enjoy, hopefully I can get there one day. I really need to get the antenna you have for your radio as my range is booty with the antenna that came with it lol. Great vid

I've seen that unit, it sounded exactly like that (114)

[JoshuaHedgecock]

Hey I use a slik pro 700dx as my primary tripod. Nice Video man.

[centralnctruckspottingtrai]

114 sounds weird you should've seen when 169 was on

Nice. It seems like the Northern end of your rail-fanning territory meets the Southern end of mine. (Selma NC) Maybe we'll run into each other one day. Keep your eyes open for an old fart like me.
