FCEN Z915 |
| Description: |
In March, Florida Central began making its Mon-Fri runs to CSXT Taft in the morning, instead of the afternoon. 55 & 57 are the normal power for the run these days. Used to be, Sunday was the only day to get this view on the north/east side of Taft Yard. |

The GP7 duo brought along GP9 669 just in case their pickup in Taft was in the 50 car range as the past couple weeks had been. Turns out they didn't need it, but a nice surprise as 669 rarely leaves FCEN rails. |

| Title: |
FMID Ethanol Train w/UP 6462 |
| Description: |
Well, here's the ultimate "proof" shot, the loaded ethanol train leaves CSX and begins its runthru on a second railroad since leaving UP's rails in Proviso. The FCEN (FMID) motors will follow the train to grab hold of the tail end while the head end is cut off. From a roster aspect, here you have three ex-SP's & two ex-ATSF's. |
