FEC #191 w/FEC 2000
Title:  FEC #191 w/FEC 2000
Description:  Had been wanting to get the 2000 leading 191 since the train's originating terminal was swapped to NSB in daylight (from Ft Pierce at night). This shot comes just a few days shy of the first time I saw 2000 at NSB in the year 2000. A week after this shot here, 2000 was put in Bad Order Storage at NSB for a blown turbocharger.

Flagg Coal Co. #75
Title:  Flagg Coal Co. #75
Description:  Steam makes a month-long appearance at Florida Railroad Museum (formerly Florida Gulf Coast Rwy). The mainline they use runs thru classic FL that doesn't appear to have changed in 100 years. *Note, there is no official AAR reporting mark for this locomotive as it is moved by truck, so I improvised for this site.

CSXT K940 w/ex-LMS 0701
Title:  CSXT K940 w/ex-LMS 0701
Description:  Once in a while, we get something borrowed and/or blue in the rock train pool from Miami. This unit was the only LMS unit to have a four digit 700-series number, 0701. Seen here at Highland Avenue northbound on #1 track. This spot makes for good morning light northbound shots and, finally, has been cleared of dead telephone poles that made shooting here tricky up until now! (Wish I could go back to 2000/2001 when the ex-EMD lease fleet was on this job & make better shots here)

CSXT K940 w/ex-LMS 0701
Title:  CSXT K940 w/ex-LMS 0701
Description:  Until recently, shooting this far back at Highland Avenue on the A-Line doubletrack north of downtown Orlando wasn't possible unless you could live with telephone poles in the foreground. Many areas with dead lines have recently been cleared & thankfully, this is one of those areas. The branch line leading into the bottom of the shot is coming off the #2 track & used to offer enough gap space between poles to get two motors in a shot if the train was on #2 track, the spur used to serve a lumber yard off Virginia Avenue & is the last piece of the line to Oviedo still in place. Now, the spur is just used for MofW. At one time, the local used to "clear up" here for opposing traffic.

Head To Head
Title:  Head To Head
Description:  No "Golden Spike" moment here. O682 comes up from Tampa & heads around the south leg of the wye in Taft & usually encounters Q255's power tied down there. SO, they have to couple up & shove them as far down as necessary to clear up & back around the north leg of the wye to get running back southward to Tampa, setting off in Taft Yard. This particular moment took upwards of 20 minutes. For a crew with only three more hours to work, that's a mighty long time.

CSXT O682
Title:  CSXT O682
Description:  Elusive Tampa-Winston-Taft turn at the north end of Taft siding northbound. When it first started running in the late 90's it was Q682 following Q188 from Tampa, but was later changed to "O" as the "Q" symbol classified a Waycross-oriented job better & is usually out of Tampa around 0300hrs. Lately, it has been very tardy & running close on hours of service.

New Clear Path For Q258
Title:  New Clear Path For Q258
Description:  Dreams DO come true!! First, all the dead telephone poles alkng the main & service track at Taft were taken down, opening up a remarkable photo angle. Now, after as many eons of dealing with the overgrown vegetation along the RofW on the Taft Ramp lead that often made photography tricky, CSXT has plowed it all out on both sides by Rachel's (they only did the north side one other ~ime). Figures, they waited to do this for so long, now with the possibility of them moving the intermodal ops to Winter Haven!

CSXT 2007 Masters Special
Title:  CSXT 2007 Masters Special
Description:  P92001 northbound passing Jax Amtrak. Who knew CSXT wanted to run a steam train? :-) Usually, trains pulling from Moncrief Yard will begin blowing smoke right about here as they notch up, but it was a surprise to see this one doing that having already been running good for a few miles.
