Me and my cousin decided to walk to the tracks it only took us 25-30minutes to get there or maybe less. When me and Trey got on Green Mount Road we hear a train coming from the west. It was to late to take the camera out but we could see it on top of the hill on Green Mount RD. It was NS 224 just two NS engines. 25minutes later we went walking east on Shiloh Station RD west to see what color were the signals 21.6 and 21.5 when went went to the RR crossing on Shiloh Station RD West the signal for 21.6 was green then we started walking to see what color was the signal for 21.5 and it was green. We started to walk for a lil bit then 2minutes late we turned around and the signal for 21.5 changed to yellow that ment that there was an eastbound coming. We started walking west to the RR crossing with gates on Shiloh Statoin RD W. We could hear the horn too as we were walking. When we reached the RR crossing the conductor said NS 223 clear 19.2 that ment the train was two crossings down where i was. The signal for 21.6 turned red when the train passed the signal 19.2. After NS 223 cleared Scott Air Force Base we decided to go home. As we were walking up the hill here comes NS 111 i didnt record it either the leading unit was NS SD70M-2 with two D9-40CW's. But tomorrow im going railfanning on Base tomorrow morning till whenever its time to leave.
