Interesting conversation by the crew of A25 local holding the siding at Villa Rica Georgia with the crew of 290 as it passed by east bound. "I like them units you got there 290."  "Yea we have a ton of folks following us too today." And that was the case as I counted a good 8 rail fans in the chase on this one. "Well you should of seen it about 2 weeks ago when we had two GP 38's. The same thing. They were everywhere."

A good day and managed to catch this one before the afternoon thunder storms roll in.
