Hi, I'm visiting the Fort Myers FL area for a few days, and I thought I'd maybe try to get out and catch some SGLR action while I'm here. Searches on the internet and within these forums turns up very little information newer than 2013 or 14. I did see one article from their CEO where he talks about increased freight traffic, and that was dated January 2016, but there was no specific information on schedules, locations, etc., as one might expect in a largely PR focused piece.
I know they have the dinner murder mystery trains, and I'll try to catch one of those, if that's all there is. But if I could catch some freight or even maybe some good yard shots, that would be great. All within the confines of legality, of course. If anyone has recent info on their activity, I'd really appreciate it.
Are there ever any trains south of the Winkler Ave depot where the murder mystery train departs? Does anything ever go down to the Naples/Estero area anymore? The crossing at Daniels Parkway looks awful good for a crossing that is never used anymore.
