Intermodals and Autoracks

9/25/00 16:30 FEC 101, south of Jupiter off of Route 811.
101 just met 208 at Hobe Sound.


9/26/00 18:50 FEC 101, north of Hypoluxo siding off of US 1
I had been driving south from Palm Beach since 17:00 without much luck, having missed a northbound around Lake Worth, when I saw the lights of a northbound in the hole. I barely had time to set up when this 101 came barrelling down the mainline.



9/29/00 15:30, FEC 105 Melbourne.
After missing 101 in Vero Beach and a local in Ft Pierce, I decided to stake this location for a while. A few minutes after setting up, I get lucky.
105 shows up with full NS consist. I had seen 105 almost every evenings of the week in West Palm but at night.


9/28/00 past sunset; FEC 218 North Palm Beach yard.
After a pretty dry evening, I get back to the Palm Beach yard and find this consist. With barely enoungh light, the train stood still long enough for me to get it at 1/30 sec. A few seconds after the shot, the power ran backwards to pick up some more loads...



FEC 453, with the Operation Lifesaver logo,was part of the consist on 101.
