I saw something at the start of the forums that this subject might be
consolidated into something else. I hope this will not happen.
The Florida East Coast gets more interesting to me the more I see of it.
I do not know a lot about it so maybe there might be someone on here
or who comes on here in the future who could better aquint us all with
this interesting line.
Incidentally, yesterday, Tuesday, they were running trains full blast, I guess the storm up north (in Florida) did not destroy them.
I do not think this line falls in the catagory of a "short line", ten or twelve
and maybe more freights each way a day, high speed freight operation,
well maintained track, equipment and facilities etc.
Yesterday, while having my supper at Peter Pan Restaurant, two north-
bounds went by and one had two SD-40-2's and a GP-40-2 with 140 cars
of rock, those engines were really barking too.
There is more to the Florida East Coast than meets the average eye,
please keep it on here.
