Florida East Coast #101 at St. Augustine with Private Cars

In this video I catch Florida East Coast train #101 intermodal train bound for Miami at the State Road 16 crossing in St. Augustine. This train has 2 SD70M-2s and an SD40-2 for power. I also get a nice surprise as the end of the train passes with FEC's two business cars, Azalea and Saint Augustine. This is my first time seeing these two cars personally, although I know they hook them on the back of these intermodals every so often. I apologise for shakiness of the video. I was sitting in my car at CVS here and I noticed the gates going down, and just managed to jump out of the car, grab my camera, and start recording before the train came. Anyway I hope you enjoy the video!

Power:
SD70M-2 #105 (Rail America)
SD70M-2 #101 (Blue and Yellow)
SD40-2 #720 (Ex UP)

That was a long train!

@SightseerLounge Standard on FEC. FEC doesn't run too many trains in a day, so they just make the ones they do run very long.

@TrainGuy247 Sure, why not?

Awesome! And he was flying!!!

[murjax]

@Tcostello105 Thanks, and yes these trains do fly on this many parts of this line since it's flat and straight. However this train did have to slow down to around 30 MPH a couple minutes into this video as about 2 miles south of this crossing there are a few tight curves.
