Frost covers the grass as FEC 202 rolls north through a frosty St. Augustine. Florida has had a few good freezes this winter so far.
FEC 204 rumbles through St. Augustine.
The 202 makes it's way through St. Augustine with an SD40-2 in the LNG lashup. The EMD does not draw fuel from the tender.
Local 905 makes it's way for the branch line. The 430 was one of 2 dynamic brake motors purchased in 1984
The 204 which can have anything on the roster sports a standard LNG set rolling thru St. Augustine.
FEC 204 at St. Augustine
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.
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.
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 202 crosses a swollen San Sebastian River still draining from Storm Ian.
