With the 430 at New Smyrna Beach for a check-up, the crew of the 905 doesn't have to contend with too much paparazzi today. It's that time of year when our wildflowers are making an effort.

If you ever spent any time on the FEC discussion groups over the years, you'll remember a fellow named Larry Schott "FEC425", he always ribbed us for spending so much time at "that ... (more)

#202's extra power day has now shuffled to Monday instead of Sunday, with #208 still taking extra set(s) on Saturday. Today's 202 included the 2414 ATIV.

FEC #801 leads 107 along the banks of the San Sebastian river at Saint Augustine on a crystal-clear evening in northern Florida.

A trio of GP-40-2's lead northbound 204 at the Bob Pickering bridge in St. Augustine.

The 103/204 trains have settled, quite nicely, into running with an SD40/GP40 pair for power....even at 8000' of train or more...so when a third motor is added, it gets extra attention.

A year ago, when FEC debuted its new Grupo paint with an "open house", the frame of FEC SD40-2 #719 sat in the corner of the shops. They were building a geometry car of sorts, taking a page out t... (more)

In 2009, it was VERY difficult to get more than three motors on any given FEC train. In this case, an annulment the day before allowed for extra power to Jacksonville. In 2024, while you won't s... (more)

When you see what the lighting is like elsewhere on the railroad in summer, much less northbounds in winter, you'll understand why this bridge sees so much exposure. Here, the Fort Pierce-Jax 204... (more)

Sunday morning's 202 is usually a mix of power to balance the lack of northbounds over the weekend and this time of year is a better northbound shot across the marsh.

The Veterans unit has been running on Bowden local #905 more often than not since its debut.

These two Geeps have about 8000 foot of train, if not more, in tow this morning. Pretty impressive.
