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!

This was the highest and one of the steepest busy Mainline Railroads at the time in the US with 3% grades and 40,000 HP trains. With 20 trains a day see plenty of manifests, coal, taconite and others. Colorful pool power, manned helpers and great train pacing plus all the heavy, intense action in a beautiful mountain setting. Power-heavy 100 car coal trains with 9 ACs battling the high altitude and steep grades like you’ll never see again.
