After I caught the ATN's northbound train, I knew that an NS local would soon be switching the ATN and the NS Siskin Yard in Gadsden, so I went over to the small yard along the NS AGS North District in Attalla to watch them switch. Here we see them building the local freight with a pair of ex-N&W SD40-2s.
The only change to this crossing since I was last out here is that NS has restriped the gate arms.
