Remarks & Notes 
"Trim Job" NS AC22-26 is making a shove back into the bowl on the switching lead at the north-end of Debutts Yard in Chattanooga, TN. The final process in a classification yard is the "Trim Jobs." This is a vital practice as blocks of cars are being built into a train after the humping process. Variations of freight trains are being put together base off of where specific cars in weight, and destination goes. AC22 is one of 2 or 3 of this job that is always on duty 3 shifts day, building trains. It's interesting to see that mother-slug set now being used at this terminal after replacing the older RCO-equip MP15DCs, that is a sign of progression around here as more horse power is needed on this rough job.

Pace and pan shots of trains from on the ground or in the air. If you're not in the locomotive cab or on-board the train, it's the next best thing to being there.
