NS grain transfer at Sibert
Title:  NS grain transfer at Sibert
Description:  An NS grain train transfer waits to depart CSX’s Sibert Yard in Mobile, AL. The engines were idling, but there was no crew inside the engines or anywhere to be seen. It is being lead by a GEVO, with 2 AC44C6M’s trailing. I could not see how long the train was due to the hopper cars on the track next to the road blocking my view.
