Cattle at left seem indifferent to the passing of a northbound.

Northbound local races traffic on state highway 14 towards Opelika.

A ballast train led by a rare C30-7 creeps south on the former WofA, depositing ballast at points along the line; also notice the moon is visible at top right.

The whole train can be seen as CSX local A746 from Montgomery to Opelika makes its return trip southbound.

The rails of CSX's former Western of Alabama line reflect the light of the setting sun, smeared across the sky by thin clouds.
