Florida East Coast Railroad filmed around 2-11-09

DO NOT subscribe if you are hoping for a ton of train videos, these will be RARE from me!
My main focus is the solid waste industry.

This is a local railroad - Florida East Coast. I really don't know much of anything about this railroad so if you ask any questions, I probably won't have a good answer lol. I filmed this in February and decided to post this so that everyone could see the 3 locomotives with different paint schemes. At the end the sound goes away, but if you keep watching - the far double gate looks like a scissor as it opens. I thought the differing paint was neat and I know I have a few railfans in my subscribers... so this is for you (railfans)! Enjoy!

Thanks! When I was a kid, I use to watch a ton of Norfolk Southern trains. Didn't know about the "Z-Train" name, thanks for sharing that info. Now is the Z-Train a name for ALL intermodal service (containers, trailers), or just certain ones?

I see them (FL East Coast) all the time around here... I like to count the cars while I'm waiting lol

[FormerWMDriver]

HA HA ! Everythings is upside down!- April Fools! Thought that worm everyone is talking about affected me. I bet this is the same train that goes through my route. Same intermodal loads.

LOL yep it got me too!

It probably is... this set of RR tracks runs right next to US-1 in this area... US-1 is less than a block from this particular crossing.

Great Vid!!!! Those 3 loco units are made by EMD(ElectroMotive Diesel) & that is a Z-Train! It carries trucktrailers that haul priority freight like UPS & a mixture of single & double stack containers from overseas! These long trains travel long distance through out the country!! I probably seen a Z train in Virginia once like a few yrs ago!!! Btw, great catch!! 5 STARS!!!!!

Yup same here, less than a block from US-1
