Q177

Description:  10 years ago, this was an every day scene. When the intermodal schedules were changed, Q177 barely gets to Sanford in daylight, even on the longest days of the year. Today, MOW needs the tracks cleared by 6PM, so Q177 is daylighted on its whole run.

Progress at FCEN's Toronto
Title:  Progress at FCEN's Toronto
Description:  This new overpass will be another of FDOT's major highway rehabs in Central FL, it has completey changed the face of FCEN's siding at Toronto, which used to be secluded in the trees. Before FCEN got the line to downtown Orlando, CSXT would interchange with them here. It was also where the Forest City Branch cut off, but that was completely sacrificed for this FDOT project.

Title:  P665
Description:  Part of the doubletracking project along the I-95 corridor in South Florida included this impressive bridge south of the Fort Lauderdale station which, as you can see, clings to the same design as I-95 itself.

Davey & Goliath
Title:  Davey & Goliath
Description:  I took this picture...but even in looking at it, I'd swear it was all models or minitures! Both of Gold Coast Railroad Museum's E-units dwarf the 24" gauge Crown 4-4-0 running around the loop track.
