Cleanup hitter train 109 crosses Crane Creek on a beautiful fall day in Florida. You couldn't pay me enough to live there, but I sure do like to visit.

Amtrak #92, the Silver Star, heads into Tampa under the ACL era signal bridge protecting the wyes into Winston Yard.

With a Werner trailer returning empty from a Home Depot Ft. Lauderdale area store delivery, 224 is looking good on this cold, blustery day (for Florida).
