A railfanning Saturday up the ex-Seaboard main line from Tampa. I got trains as far as Crawford, then got a few on the way back.
Met a hobo in Baldwin Yard who gave me an interesting interview. Please no comments on his railroad accuracy. I'm mean... he's a hobo.
Thanks!
DH

  • OK now I have two questions first how tight are the curves on the Florida Northern & how much weight can they hold?

  • @tartopfan No idea. About as much as you see here, I guess. :-))

  • Nice video Danny as always. RE: the second catch of the day, if memory serves me correctly, that was the "EPIC CONSIST", wasnt it! ;)

  • @troy12n Yeah. That's the now-famous "Epic" consist. :-))

    Just like Evan Lofback said, it's all in what you're used to seeing.

    First time I went to Callahan in 1995, I was blown away to see three B-36's pulling Q141 at 60 MPH around that curve. I had never seen railroading like that. Just 25 MPH Bone Valley Trains.

    If something is new to you... it's new.

  • That HLCX trailing engine on Q453 is usually a rare engine you'll see in Hamlet along with CREX engines as well. I've been every Saturday of this year of 2012 and seen alot of them running espcially ex bnsf leaser power units

  • Pinsly Railroad Company, based in Westfield, Massachusetts, is a holding company of these short line railroads: Arkansas Midland Railroad, Florida Central Railroad, Florida Midland Railroad, Florida Northern Railroad, and Pioneer Valley Railroad.

  • Nice catches and colorful personalities (hobo and crews)

    ...W099 northbound lead motor CSX 8022 has a CLEAAAAAAHHH signal... :-D

    Good work, Danny.

  • Crap, well if he's coming to Mobile, then that means Swamp Dog is gonna pass thru my town first...
