FCEN "Northbound" w/FWCR 669 |
| Description: |
This Geep spent mid-August thru late-January off the road after coming down to Plymouth from Newberry, but it's good as new, seen here just across US 441 south of Eustis. |

FWCR 669 |
| Description: |
A breath of fresh air on Florida Central, FWC 669 has been spending a lot of time on the "Northbound" out of Plymouth. Seen here at Wooten Park in Tavares, uncoupling from the train to move some passenger cars in the wye. |

FCEN "Northbound" w/FWCR 669 |
| Description: |
Wooten Park is about the best spot to actually photograph the "Northbound" as the line runs mostly W/NW out of Plymouth. Not too long ago, you could drive back a bit more to see the curved line "street run" past the citrus packing plant, but it's been torn down & fenced off. Lake County Courthouse now serves as a backdrop. |

FCEN "Northbound" w/FWCR 669 & RPCX Coaches |
| Description: |
Just picked a good day to be out for this one. The Northbound is actually headed southbound. This is one of my fave spots on FCEN, Ellsworth Junction. The branch that made this a legit junction is long gone. |

FWCR 669 |
| Description: |
#669 wasted no time getting back into service in 2006 after being down since August 2005 & can be seen all over FCEN's rails. Sometimes, it does get to rest on the weekend at the Pinsly offices, as seen in this shot. |

FCEN Z915 |
| Description: |
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. |

FWCR 669 & HLCX 6092 |
| Description: |
The FWC hihood rarely ventures down to Taft, but when it does, it can be seen with power it won't rub shoulders with on home rails. While 669 has no FCEN markings whatsoever, it gets the Orlando #1 block as "FC 669". |
