Am's Mobile Coal Train--Aluminator coal car and GCCX coalporter on Walter Energy Mobile coal train
Title:  Am's Mobile Coal Train--Aluminator coal car and GCCX coalporter on Walter Energy Mobile coal train
Description:  I always hoped to catch a Jim Walter Resources train loading between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham at one of the mines. Several trips produced a lot of empty track. My wife did me one better, capturing images of a southbound loaded train at the Montgomery, AL riverwalk. She is a novice, but you would never know it looking at some of these pictures.
