NS'S Alabama Division AGS South District Editors Pick! Contributor's Pick!       
NS Southbound Freight Train 31V ABS ( Alabama Southern Railroad ) detour running via NS from Birmingham, Al. to Meridian, Ms. or Tuscaloosa, Al. ABS will be detouring via NS for quite a while since 4/27/11 when an EF-5 Tornado destroyed much of Tuscaloosa including a steel trestle in Gordo that was completely destroyed & blown to the ground. These trains run as 30V northbound & 31V southbound, but when I 1st caught the detour ran as an 071, I guess since the detour is long term, possibly a year or longer NS decided to come up with a train symbol of their own

Bradley Bates General Great shot! I hate that about Tuscaloosa. 5/9/2011 11:40:54 PM
William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks Bradley, Tuscaloosa will be rebuilt better than before, but what's really bad was the hundreds of lives lost, I'm very thankful the tornado's didn't touch down close to where I live, my power was out, so I had no idea the tornado's were coming, since my power was out I went to sleep & woke up to thunder, then went out to eat, while eating at the resteraunt they had a TV on & showing the tornado that hit Cullman live, I didn't realize the magnitude of the death & destruction until that night when my power came back on. 5/9/2011 11:54:03 PM
