FCEN Assists CSXT While Amtrak Watches
Title:  FCEN Assists CSXT While Amtrak Watches
Description:  Three trains in this shot by the Orlando Amtrak depot. FCEN Z915 has come down to grab their pickup off K928, which is stopped for the red signal at "Orlando" (south end double track). Amtrak P098 is also at "Orlando" heading onto the #2 track. Heat inspections & a flurry of northbounds prompted this unusual "pick up" for FCEN, which were planning on heading to Taft for these cars.

FCEN Perspective
Title:  FCEN Perspective
Description:  Here, not only do you see the overpass I perch on frequently, but you see ground-level what is left of the RofW that the train used to negotiate. It used to roll under the overpass crossing the mainline on a diamond & could head across US 441 to Forest City and/or back around to the left & get on the mainline.
