A fiery NS 9786 leads NS 29A through Lindale, GA

originally recorded on 6/29/24
On June 29th, I met up with ‪@Tank-5675‬ at Lindale. About an hour after initially arriving, the southbound mainline signal upgraded to a "Clear," and about 10 minutes after that, this 29A went through. The lead unit of it, 9786, had fire coming out the top of it! The train later stopped down at Green (IIRC) and NS had the local fire department come out and check on the unit, according to what I had heard on the scanner after this train had passed.

Great video and catch! Also glad to still see nothing's changed to the classic SOU signals there at Lindale.

Thanks! Same, I'm glad they've remained unchanged as well.
