109 breezes thru Jensen Beach with FEC 404 & Rail America 107

FEC 420, in the classic Hurricane paint scheme, passes SB through Stuart, FL with a NYSW SD70M (leased to a fellow RailAmerica line in Ohio) in the third spot. Even on a "predictable" railroad, y... (more)

FEC SD40-2 #710 leads train 109 south over the St. Lucie River. When on the FEC, I always look for shots with palm trees, as they seem to scream "You're in Florida" to me.

109 crosses the Stuart Draw with plenty of empty rock hoppers on the head end.

FEC train #109 heads south with rock empties at Stuart, FL with a matched set of ex-UP SD40-2's.

Other engines: LTEX 9239 ex SP SD45T-2 and another yellow.

FEC's newest train 109 passes the new milepost...the MJ mileposts on the main were re numbered between St. Augustine and Bunnell last year. This milepost is where the numbers adjust.

FEC 109 right after it got started. The 109 used to leave Jax late morning, replacing train 125 that left 5 hours earlier. However now 109 runs in 125's old schedule.
