These egrets are hunting oblivious to the train. Many of them will end up landing in the gondola to seek out more snacks. |

SGLR DeSoto Turn |
Description: |
Back when SGLR's ROW was a lot more "unkempt" than it now is (they've cleared tons of shrubs, etc), this spot was considered "primo" was it was open on both sides. |

SGLR DeSoto Turn |
Description: |
1999 was the last time I got a morning southbound train here, if that gives you any idea how often it happens. With the highway and most of the clear view of the ROW on the east side, it's a photographer's dream come true. However, it's by default. Business is so down, they only run to interchange with CSXT once a week. |

Ah yes, this is the kind of shot SGLR was once "famous" for, but most of the ROW has been cleaned up in recent years. With the possibility of a new intermodal hub coming online very close by, there may be more improvements soon. |

SGLR DeSoto Turn |
Description: |
The newest addition to the SGLR fleet (delivered Feb 5 2008) leads the DeSoto Turn from Fort Myers to Arcadia. Will be glad when they paint these SGLR proper. 8598 doesn't yet wear any SGLR lettering, but the RLCX lettering has been removed. |

Description: |
Southbound out of Arcadia, a little late today, with 32 cars. SGLR used to be very particular about painting their new arrivals...USED to be! |

SGLR DeSoto Turn |
Description: |
If the Turn doesn't get out of Arcadia by 3PM, you'll have to settle for sucker holes in the trees on the return to Fort Myers. |

SGLR DeSoto Turn |
Description: |
Sitting in SGLR's Arcadia Yard with a cut of flyash, waiting (and waiting...and waiting...) on CSXT to deliver the rest of their train from Mulberry. SGLR would have a two-hour wait on CSXT this day. |
