You need to come to the Caracas Metro... that's crazy dude... check some vids on YouTube

Nice! Just a few questions- why were the covered hoppers left in the station, were they left on a bypass track, and how do you know that they came down on Q453 on 6/12? Thanks

Q453 had 123 cars that day, even I saw it for myself since I was at Hollywood that day. It had an untold amount of hoppers for storage, and that was a freight siding at Golden Glades. Ted was on track 1 the whole time.

Awesome video, Ted! I wonder why they honk for Snake Creek, would it be for anyone that is on the bridge, whether it be a person or an animal?

I suppose it is , Tolga. You may remember some years ago when a kid was struck by a train on that bridge. I believe the rule went into effect after that event.

Well done Ted! Nice shot of the covered hoppers in Golden Glades.

Thanks, Tim. I know there are railfans to our north who are interested in where those cars are stored.

I like how Tri-Rail parallels I-95 a lot. The only other place the CSX A Line does this is northern Virginia.

Actually, the Miami Sub is an extension of the S-line (SX). Thanks for the comment. ;-)
