Light angles are very good in the morning until they break off from NS, then when they head back to Tuscaloosa in the afternoon the light angles are great for the trip back. Its very classy ABS has repainted a few of their GP38-2s in a commemorative paint scheme for Alabama Crimson Tide Football, love their colors. Pulling For The Tide, Roll Tide

Description:  ABS Job 121 has completed their work at Nucor Steel in Holt, Al. as they do a walking inswection of the brakes before heading back to their yard in Tuscaloosa with plate steel shipped all over the U.S. Job 121 seems to have these nice looking GP35Rs painted in a commemorative paint scheme for Alabama Crimson Tide Football held captive, could be these units are specifically used for job 121 only, to date since August of this year theyve only worked the 121 job that I know of.
