Thanks Jeffery & Terry, You're right Jeffery, seems to be a common site for FXE to show up in Birmingham on either UP or KCS interchanged trains to NS, I have even seen some FXE interchanged to CSXT from UP

How fast did you have to drive back to Birmingham to get this?

I had plenty of time to get back, this was the day after I caught M- SHNS at Smith, Ms. 339 runs late afternoon out of Birmingham, Al. It only takes 3 or 4 hours to drive from Jackson, I slept in my own bed & could've slept til 3:00 pm & still caught 339, actually the weather sucked & cleared out fairly well for me to catch 339, I didn't get out til after 12:00 pm that day, didn't think I'd even be shooting 339 that day cause of the clouds, but as you see it worked out
