I am looking for help in identifying two trains that I shot some years back.

The first shot is of a local train with what appears to be empty Norfolk Southern hoppers at Dania in 1991. The sun indicates that I took the picture in early to mid afternoon. Is it safe to say that this is Train 965 the Fort Lauderdale switcher?

The second shot is a local train that was working in the downtown Miami area (probably between there and the 71st Wye) in 1981. It is carrying clearly empty boxcars. The picture looks like it was taken at exactly mid-day, based on the shadows only appearing directly under the train. Does anyone know what train this was? Also, can anyone recognize the exact location?

Thanks so much for any information you can provide.
