ALE GP38-2s 3859 and 3863 |
| Description: |
Alabama Export Railroad (ALE) is a subsidiary of Mississippi Export Railroad (MSE). The ALE owns only two locomotives, EMD GP38-2 #3863 and EMD GP38-2 #3859. Both of these locomotives are ex HLCX leasers and both have a colorful history. It is not the best image of the duo, but it was hard to get a good shot because we were on the interstate on the opposite side from the yard they were in. My goal is to someday soon get a better shot of them both! |

Both of these locomotives are ex HLCX leasers and both have a colorful history. This is the first picture on this site and maybe even on the internet of ALE 3863 and ALE 3859 (I have made many google searches, with no success, the only pic I have seen is of one of the two geeps on thedieselshop.net). It is not the best image of the duo, but sadly, the yard it was in, that I think is owned by ALE, is off limits to the public, and all the railcars from the NS yard made it harder to get a good shot of them. My goal is to someday soon get a better shot of them both! |

ALE geeps in ALE yard office/ car repair shops |
| Description: |
ALE 3863 and ALE 3859 idling at the ALE (ex CN) yard office/car repair shops in Mobile, AL. I finally got a good picture of these locos and I am so happy! Later into the day, they pulled into their yard behind the overpass for I-165 and it was really hard to get a picture of them. I am really grateful that they were in the yard office that morning so I could get the opportunity to snap a picture of them, which is something I almost can never do because they are always either not in Mobile or they are in the yard, hidden behind trees, brush, and concrete pillars. |

ALE locos and an NS consist at Sibert |
| Description: |
Saw these when I was flying over CSX’s Sibert Yard. ALE 3859 and ALE 3863 were sitting in the ALE yard office/car shops, and there was an NS consist sitting in Sibert. I sadly couldn’t get any numbers of the NS units, but the lead unit appears to be an SD70ACC, the middle unit appears to be a Dash 9, and the rear unit appears to be either an SD70ACe, SD70ACU, or an SD70M-2. These locomotives were really strange/rare to see in Sibert, and it was cool to see all of the locos present. |

| Description: |
ALE 3859 and ALE 3863 (ex HLCX GP38-2s) are seen today doing some switching in the Alabama Export (CN gave them trackage rights from Belt Junction at Moffett Rd to here) for CN A488 later today. |
