St. Augustine is actually a sad little town. The historic district is very nice and well maintained, but outside that it's pretty run down. Anastasia Island is much better.
I'm glad someone else besides me was able to railfan here. I live in St. Augustine, and it's almost impossible to railfan. FEC only comes through a few times a day and unlike Amtrak, you can't check to see if it's on time or not. The other thing is I don't feel comfortable standing in a parking lot shotting trains, and the good spot on Route 16 is covered with homeless people.
Get a shot during high tide with only the ballast and rails showing above the water!

Great catch! My belief is that you got train 226, especially noted is the Geep leading due to trouble on both the 708 and the 104.
