After I caught NS 286 in Hillsboro, I continued east to Decatur. On my way there, I heard there was a late-running CSX I026 approaching, so I decided to go for that. After a bit of waiting here, CSX I026 came through with an ES44AH leading an AC44CW and another ES44AH working as the train's DPU. Not sure if I've ever seen I026 (or I025) with the DPUs on the rear before...
I waited around Vine Street for a bit for another train, but the next one to come, NS 733 (with six locomotives on it), didn't come until I needed to be hitting the road for Owens Cross Roads.
Like with Main Street in Hillsboro, there have thankfully been no major changes to this crossing since I last filmed it.

How slow do CSX trains in this part of Decatur go?

[@freebrickproductions]

I'd have to double check, but I think the speed limit drops to as low as 15 MPH over the Tennessee River bridge.
