Here is yet another collection of trains I have filmed on the BNSF Birmingham Subdivision in Mississippi. The highlight has to be a BNSF Warbonnet (Fakebonnet) leading H-AMOMEM in northern Mississippi en route to Memphis, TN. Other catches included loaded unit ethanol and loaded unit coal trains, as well as manifests.

H-AMOMEM is a daily priority manifest originating from the yard in Amory, MS, with traffic bound for the Tennessee Yard in Memphis. A majority of the cars on this train come from interchange traffic with shortlines that terminate in the Columbus, MS, area. This train featured two GE Dash 9s: BNSF 4714 in the warbonnet or fakebonnet paint scheme leading the consist and BNSF 4459 in the Heritage 2 paint scheme as the rear DPU.

U-ADMBIR is a unit train of loaded ethanol tanks bound for the BNSF terminal in East Thomas outside of Birmingham, AL. The ethanol is produced in Adams, NE, at the E Energy Adams plant near Lincoln. There was plenty of GE motive power on this train, and BNSF 5025 (in the Heritage 2 scheme) was at the head.

Next are two instances of H-MEMAMO, the daily priority manifest counterpart to H-AMOMEM. Both were set up in the 1x0x1 configuration (top and tail) with ES44 GEVOs for power.

Finally, the C-NAMPAM is a frequent unit coal train run to the J.H. Miller Power Plant in Palos, AL. This train was originally loaded at the North Antelope Mine in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. This train had two ES44ACHs in the lead and two SD70ACes as rear DPUs to propel it over the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway bridge and into Amory, MS.
