Annual run of the Toys For Tots special in 2024 went north, not south. Starting in Miami then working up to Jacksonville. Of note, this run had well-known engineer Dave Shelley, the "East C... (more)

After a brief break with all-SD40-2 consists, the GE's have (surprisingly) returned to the Unit Train. This actually means there are more EMD on the mainline again. Today, with a cut of Vulcan h... (more)

#206 slides by the Unit Train strung out from Cemex still unloading. Another five minutes or so would have resulted in a three-way meet with counterpart #105 which was getting close from the nort... (more)

During the week, local 915 leaves Titusville and heads straight to City Point where it awaits the Unit Train for these cars on its head end. Sometimes the Cemex crew brings the Unit Train out int... (more)

With the Cemex crew aboard, the Unit Train has dropped the head end of their train for local #915 and are picking up hoppers the local brought in to add to Cemex's train. This doesn't happen ever... (more)

Cemex is using their yard switcher to put the FEC Unit Train back together for unloading. FEC MOW is hard at work on the main.

Yes, that's the ID they are using now. "BIZ" for business, "N" for north, 17 for date. Fancy. They have only been doing this again since December, having tacked the business... (more)

With the line complete between FEC & MCO (the airport), the three locomotives based at the OUC interchange can now roam the system end to end. They displaced two other lease units that went back ... (more)

Greenville, SC-based Republic Locomotive built this item for Cemex and it is stationed at the City Point (Cocoa) yard for switching. More about this can be found here: http://www.republiclocomotiv... (more)
