I was driving in Greenville, SC and the interstate crosses a railroad track. I could see the cars , but the power was underneath the interstate. As I drove over it, I saw the engines come out, and almost wrecked the car, thinking I was seeing BNSF pumpkins, which are extremely rare on this side of the country. Unfortunately, I realized they weren't BNSF, but a shortline called the Carolina Southern. I'd forgotten they had an orange paint scheme as well.
Still, it got my heart racing in ways it hasn't in some time. I haven't been out railfanning seriously in over 20 years. Used to go all the time, and wife and I would plan vacations around railfanning. I do miss the hobby. And the excitement of seeing power far from home, as evidenced by my reaction to the orange engines...

Ah, the good old days.
