Remarks: While the Bone Valley business has slacked off in recent years, the trains that run tend to have non-GEVO/CW-type power that dominates CSX's roster.
Remarks: Ringling Bros Blue Unit is back in one piece after resting in Yeoman Yard since Thanksgiving, it will cross over to the A-Line & head to Orlando from here.
Remarks: #226 greets the rising sun at MP36 like it seems to do almost every morning. A couple years ago, a consist like there here was unthinkable. Believe it or not, it was cold enough this morning in "sunny Florida" for my hands to freeze during the couple minutes I set up for this shot.
Remarks: What's the 4-1-1 here? Well, late in 2009, FEC brought back train #105 after removing it from the schedule for almost a year. Presently, it runs "as needed" during the week & today has two original FEC motors for power. I can assure you I never thought I'd see the day when I had to "hope" for a solid blue consist here.
