Railfanning around Salisbury, NC 10/15/11

On 10/15, I got together with my friends NS3210, oceano336, Canesfan7012, and homboldt (be sure to check out their channels as well) and we all went down to Salisbury to railfan (because for most of you who don't know, the old freight depot at the wye is going to be torn down by Thanksgiving). A lot of good stuff including EMD leaders, foreign power, great sounding horns (from K5LAs, RS3Ls, and P5s), and much more. Trains not seen are NS 213 and Amtrak 75, which both rolled by while we were at lunch.
