CSX Central Florida A-Line and FEC

Clips of Amtrak, CSX and FEC seen in Orlando and other parts of Central Florida. I went with Ed Cantu to catch some patriotic railroad action.
Orange City
00:00 Missed P053 by a hair. He was running 2 hours ahead of schedule. Caught a black bear instead.

Orlando
00:12 Amtrak Silver Star heads through downtown. Engineer barely applies pressure to the airhorn. Also notice the gross patch job on the second to last amfleet car
02:21 CSX local by W. Grant St.
03:29 Amtrak P091 departing Orlando Station. Notice the engineer is quilling more air into the horn than he was downtown.
04:18 CSX Q455 gets a clear signal immediately after Amtrak 91 moves out of the block
05:52 CSX local seen again switching at Pineloch.
08:35 Amtrak P097 Silver Meteor heads south through Pinloch. Engineer barely quills air into the horn. This guy had a burnt out ditchlight as well

Taft
10:05 Amtrak meeting P097 at Taft, Amtrak Silver Meteor P098 heads north through the yard. Second unit is P40DC #821
Longwood
10:38 Amtrak P098 seen again
Orange City
11:27 To make up for missing P053, we caught the northbound Amtrak Auto Train. He was sorter than usual, since most people in their right mind wouldn't travel on a holiday. veteran P40DC's #831 & #814

New Smyrna Beach
12:13 From Orange City, we floored it to New Smyrna Beach and barely caught a Southbound FEC freight with SD70M-2's 103 and 104 leading. Got a nice Patriotic engine to end the day.

Awesome package, Jared! Always dig those local catches. That spot for P098 is one of my favorites in the Central Florida area, but verrryy nice angle from the garage! That FEC I think is Train 107.
