Testing Testing! FEC extra testing LNG fuel the first actual full test. The train ran from Jax to New Smyrna and back.
My husband urgently encouraged me to get to Bunnell for 202, this train usually comes through well after dark. But was early today and my buddy Dave Shelly was at the throttle!
Exceptionally rare daylight 202 in Bunnell gives us the chance to shoot what was a routine shot years ago. Prior to 2008, 202 was a daytime train, these days usually through at night.
Class unit FEC 800 leads 202 north over the Stuart drawbridge.
About a half an hour before sunrise FEC #123 crosses the St Lucie River in Stuart. FL.
The #123 train crosses Crane Creek with a load of containers headed for Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Sun angles on 101 are starting to get challenging, however we can eek out a few more shots as 101 is seen here. Very warm today temps near 85.
One year ago...and one day I took this very same shot on my wedding day! Though big M's were in charge then, the GEVO's rule now with some EMD on the side.
FEC 226 winds it's way through St. Augustine on a cool breezy morning. The Crowely containers usually on 224 but the elephant lashup of the motors tells us it's 226.
