Part 1 of 2. After chasing CSX O700 from near Ybor City I headed over to the Drew Spur and caught him switching the Home Depot Distirbutor near Waters Ave. There he would drop nine cars and the continue on south down the spur with an additional 62 cars.

@bitterman112 Thanks, Eric. Yes O700 is another local freight that distributes freight from Q441 along with the autoracks from Q235. No questions from any of the drivers, just strange looks as usual.

Great Footage!!!! So I guess O700 must be of several locals that transfer freightcars from Q441 from Yeoman Yard to different commodities through Hillsborough County.... Didnt surprize me that most of the drivers were very aggravated from O700's slow process switching.....Did any of them question your filming?

@moorerg21 Thank you. You should of heard them honking their horns and a guy waiting on the sidewalk on the other side cussing but I wasn't filming then because the train was stopped.

was neat, although probably annoying to the locals that the train was just long enough to block the road both in and out of the siding. Great Catch Thanks.
