FEC 226 wanders into St. Augustine, my last train of 2016. The LNG fuel has really made some changes on the FEC this year past.

A photo that could have been taken in 2009.

FEC's annual Christmas Train!

As usual, FEC jumped right back into action after the holiday. The first train was 141 bringing a southbound in favorable light across the marsh a shot I been trying to get for years.

On a foggy Christmas Eve FEC 226 crosses the tidewater in St. Augustine. The Florida white Christmas usually means fog.

On Christmas Eve FEC 210 swings around a curve into the Nation's oldest city on a mild morning.

FEC 210 has been running earlier these day, seen here with the LNG tender. A contrast from 226 that had an EMD lashup.

FEC 226 lead by a solid EMD lashup an image that could have been easily taken 3 years ago, however these days fairly rare. But it happens once in a while.

Exceptionally rare for a single GEVO to lead a train on the FEC. This was the Monday only 228 on a foggy morning in the Nation's Oldest City.

You know it's Christmas in Florida when the FEC Christmas train arrives! Here attendees get a close look at the big ES44C4 as others in the background meet "Santa"

FEC 210 the 4th train in the parade lead by SD40-2 #715 which was the grand finale in the 4 train parade.

FEC 226 the 3rd train in the 4 train parade this morning with two GEVO's on the point.

FEC 218 weaving through St. Augustine. 218 is a Ft. Lauderdale - Jax train that runs daily but Sunday. This was train #2 of the parade this morning.

A rare late running 222 rolls thru St. Augustine at first light the first of a 4 train parade. The 222 is usually through here before sunrise though sometimes can be late.

FEC 226 swings through St. Augustine with 5 motors (you have to look hard to see the additional 2 behind the LNG). Note the little buoy on the ballast leftover from Hurricane Matthew.
