Daylighted K951 |
Description: |
In the past year, rock train traffic in Central FL has gone from "you can set your watch by" to "what the heck happened". Our legendary rock trains were lost in the economy's breakdown. Kaley's Conrad Yelvington quarry only gets one train per week from Miami & while it still tends to come north first thing in the morning, it could be a day or two before it goes south. Hence this shot, the empty train headed south a full 30 hours after coming north. Normal turn time is 12 hours. Train is passing the new Middlesex plant which sees one rock train per week from the north. |

CSX Q455 Thru Taft Ramp |
Description: |
Late-running Q455 did something it rarely does, bypassed Taft Yard for Taft Ramp, swinging in at the TOFC signal & running around the loop. This way, they dropped their auto racks on Ramp 4 & only had to pull out into the siding & back into Taft Yard. The tail end of Q178 can be seen to the right of 7333. As of the date of this photo, approx 37 CSX motors were left in CR paint. (NOTE: 12/10-7333 is now in YN3 paint) 7333 is ex-CR 6134 & part of the "dedicated" pool of power that Waycross regularly sends in & out of FL. 7496, third out, already met the paint booth & is ex-CR 6042. |

Final Day Of Plant-Lined RofW for Q258 |
Description: |
The vegetation on the right side of the image might look nice, esp since I was purposly trying to work in the orange & red blooms, but it makes photography of train headed north from Taft Ramp better for telephoto lenses & "head on" images. Only a couple open spots to perch on the fill between it & Rachel's parking lot. Little did I know this would be the last image I'd have to get myself covered in twigs, spurs & other junk for. CSXT had plowed the north side of the rails this day & the following day plowed this side all the way out. This is a prime spot to shoot afternoon/evening northbound trains as they run due west here, especially helpful most of the year as the light tends to favor this side all day. During the summer months the first few hours after sunrise & the last hour before sunset, the light is on the other side. |

Short & Sweet Q177 |
Description: |
A rather short intermodal train zips into Taft. Lately, this is how a lot of our Q177's had been looking. You can see why a 5600' train, as was Saturdays, is remarkable. |

Q456 Meets Q187 |
Description: |
This usually happens under the cover of darkness, but another A-Line curfew designed around Amtrak's schedule made this Kodak moment possible. Meets like this in Rand Yard used to happen in daylight every day. |

Q187 w/CSXT 141 |
Description: |
Yesterday's train was led by another "inverted number", #636. Modest train is all that's left after a big drop in Taft Ramp. These big drops are a direct result of the abolishment of Q177. |
