Operations and industries
Operations after the downsizing:
Number 72-73 are the only trains left. They do not run every day anymore,
but 72 leave earlier than it used to from Port St Joe. Therefore, the northbound
run occurs mostly during daylight before the change of time in October.
The train is now pulled by one SW1500 sandwiched in between 2 GP15T. On
the line, 72-73 switches at several plants.
Port St Joe, Fl; April 1997.
The paper mill was one of the major customer of the railroad before
it closed.
Port St Joe, Fl; April 1997.
The Arizona chemical plant is one of the customers left in Port St
Joe. The plant is across US 98 from the paper mill. The yard is behind
the plant.
Port St Joe, Fl; Jaunary 2000.
The other customer left in Port St Joe is the magnesium plant which
is located beside the coal transloading facility by the Gulf County Canal.
The plant has its own "critter".
