806 & 807 cross the Tomoka River at Ormond Beach whilst hauling FEC226-02, 2300 Miami Hialeah - Jacksonville Bowden, 3 July 2018

Sometimes 230 runs with standard power, but it still looks good going over the Tomoka. The 230 no longer runs.

FEC 226 crossing the still waters of the Tomoka River. Note the "fence" on the bridge a new addition, fortunately installed on the other side.

FEC 226 at the Tomoka River Bridge..the humorous bit was the truck trailer reading our best resource is here pointing at the FEC power..just barely visible in the trees.

Reflections of the future? Maybe if all goes well with LNG tests. 226 was a bit late allowing me to get a shot I wanted.

FEC 226 on the first day of Summer rolling over the waters of the Tomoka River. This is a shot that only works in the summer.

On a warm tropical morning, FEC 226 launches across the Tomoka River with three motors and tropicana cars in tow.

The FEC must cross numerous waterways on it's route. This crossing at the Tomoka river is one of my favorites.

Out of the shadows and into the light....FEC 226 with 4 GEVO's roars across the Tomoka River. For Morris Kitty who passed on into the light today.

Occasionally strange consists show up like this ES44, GP38-2 and GP40-2 on 226. The retro blues look good next to the Champion.

The old and the new. FEC's newest model with one of the oldest motors on the line, #415. The 415 arrived in the late 70's early 80's and still is a workhorse for the FEC.

Stunning! FEC 226 launches across the Tomoka River on a warm morning. Thank you Mr. Hertwig and the FEC for bringing this beautiful livery back.

Finally the sun has swung around and the weather cooperated for this shot... Two of FEC's big champs launch 226 across the Tomoka River a shot I have been wanted since the big motors arrived.

FEC 910 heads back to New Smyrna after meeting 210 at Harwood. The 430 and 431 were the first dynamic brake equipped motors on the railway, purchased in the mid 1980's.

FEC 101 blasts through the rains associated with an ocean storm centered just off the coast. While the north gets legendary snows, we get legendary rains. Dual classics today.
