FEC 105 is seen wheeling out of downtown Bunnell with one of the reactivated SD40-2's assisting
It's Thanksgiving on the FEC or what they call on the railroad, Thursday. High water again in the Nations Oldest City on a foggy morning as 202 with one of the Grupo tenders rolls north.
FEC 105 winds out of Bunnell with the hottest train on the railway.
The hot 105 swings out of the hole after meeting local 905 working Florida Rock off of the main, seen in the distance.
Little Champs! The 2nd of two trains brings us the very rare lashup of two SD40-2's on this GE railroad.
The first of a two train parade rolls into St. Augustine
Is this 2014? Once again a solid and rare all EMD lashup on a thru FEC train including "For a Cure" specialty motor. EMD power has been turning up on the odd thru train as of late.
Testing testing! FEC continues to test 2 lng tenders which will be deployed to other Grupo railways in the future.
FEC 820 leads 105 through Bunnell, the first train after Storm Nicole. Th FEC partially shut down for about 48 while the hurricane affected the railway.
Tidal surges from storm Nicole have the river swollen as 210 makes it's way to Bowden
The water is high due to storm Nicole, as FEC 204 heads north with amazingly a 3 SD40-2 lashup on this GE railroad. EMD power on thru trains is rare but occasionally does happen on 103/204
Storm Nicole has already brought higher tides as three EMD's lead 204 across the tidewater. Pretty rare to get EMD leaders on thru trains.
The Silver Star slides into Seville bound for Orlando, Tampa and Miami.
It's a warm humid morning where we catch Auto Train about an hour away from it's destination.
