Welcome to the Trainscapes segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, Trainscapes will feature train content including videos of trains and behind the scenes action of trains and locomotives. Some people have an interest in seeing trains, and we here at Geek Alabama aim to please the train lovers!

West of Birmingham, Bessemer is a historic city once important in the steel industry. While the city has declined more recently, it is still a hub for trains and especially the Norfolk Southern. We’ll see lots of action on a hot Thursday morning before heading north to cool off and catch some trains on the BNSF.
