Trains in China Grove and Salisbury NC (1/7/23)

Описание: 2 trains in China Grove and a handful of trains in Salisbury NC on the brisk day of January 7th, 2023. Below you will find a short day description and below will be timestamps and train info.

I originally had no plans to be out railfanning on this day but I woke up to see a text message from a great Virginia friend who was in town. This friend was none other than EngineerPat5290 (go check out his YouTube channel!). So starting in the morning I caught 2 trains in China Grove and moved north to meet up with Pat in Salisbury. Upon arrival, he informed me that another good friend of mine Colby would be coming up (he later appears in a video lol) and that Ray and Tammy from SC would be coming back up to hang out together. I also had the pleasure of meeting some great folks from the area as well. It was a pleasure to hang out with everyone and to catch some trains.
