Remarks & Notes

The Florida East Coast Railway's unit train sits on the lead at city point ready to be taken south that evening as train 335. The first Ortner hopper on the train is unique as it holds the remote control equipment that allows Cemex employees to control the train remotely rather than having crews in the cab. Because of this, any locomotive on the FEC roster can be used on this train since the Ortner connects to the locomotives through an MU cable and does not require any specialized equipment on the locomotive itself.
