Will be in Atlanta for a week. I see on places like Railpics a number of photos of KCS belles running on an NS pig/stack train that seems to operate from KCS land, likely Meridian, to Altanta.

What details can you guys provide on this operation: train numbers? Times into and back westbound out of Atlanta? Days off, if less than daily? route? and is this a shared power pool such that some days its all NS, some all KCS,  or unpredictable? etc?

Any help appreciated.

NS runs two pairs of Atlanta - Dallas intermodals: 219/220 and 23E/24E.  These trains traverse the KCS Meridian Speedway.   Both pairs of trains commonly use KCS power.  219/220 run daily and 23E/24E run 5x week.

NS 219 and 23E run very early in the morning 2-4am, 220 and 24e usually get into ATL 7-11am depending on WB traffic....
