Jupiter Drawbridge operation and FEC Train 202

[ktowntex]

so the drawbridge detects a train comming and operates automatically?

@ktowntex No, the dispatcher in Jacksonville controls the bridge and orders it down for the train.

fec's dispatchers are in jacksonville too now?

[Honestware]

@lakeshoredave Yes, they are. The offices and dispatch are a few miles south of Bowden Yard.

Excellent video, Jim! Interesting to learn about the operation of the bridge and also hear about it on Today's Technology.

Fantastic Jim!! Were you aware of the osprey? Nice to see something different and like the pop up notes for good info. Thanks!!

@anitacaboose I didn't know the Osprey was there until I was editing the video! I hadn't even noticed him at the time.
