Decatur CSX & Norfolk Southern Rail

A radio scanner feed broadcasting live railroad communications from two major freight rail corridors that converge in the Decatur, Alabama area. The stereo feed is configured so that the left channel carries CSX transmissions and the right channel carries Norfolk Southern traffic. The two railroads share a critical bridge crossing over the Tennessee River — owned by Norfolk Southern but carrying significant CSX volume daily. Decatur sits at the junction of Norfolk Southern's Memphis-to-Chattanooga route and CSX's Nashville-to-Birmingham corridor, making it a busy interchange point. Both carriers operate medium-sized classification yards in the area. The feed captures the operational radio communications of crews, dispatchers, and maintenance personnel working along these routes.
