Hi there railfans.
Today is another day showing some of the regulars through Florida.
The fun starts at Winter Park Station where the Amtrak 98, Silver Meteor departs on it's way to New York. #338 is a Siemens Charger ALS-42, in Phase 7 colors, and #154 ia a GE P42DC, in Phase 5 colors.
Next up is SunRail's P322 on its way to DeBary and probably continue to DeLand on a test run. If all works according plan the DeLand service begins from August 18, 2024.
All SunRail engines are MPI MP32PH-Q's.
Slightly further north we see Amtrak 91, Silver Star passing through Sanford Station on its way to Miami. Both engines ar the Siemens Chargers.
Moving up a few miles we see the Amtrak Auto Train cross the bridge over the St Johns River.
Both engines are GE P40DC's modified to P42DC specs.
Followed by P333 southbound.
The departure time of the Auto Train is 5pm which is not very convenient due to the single track over the St Johns River just up the track. SunRails P333 departs DeBary at 5pm from the other side of the bridge in the opposite direction.
To make it more complicated, the SunRail P326 will be arriving at 5:10pm at Sanford Station.
To make a long story short, it would be a lot easier to have a double track over the St Johns River.
Finally some FEC action to finish off the video. FEC 105 is seen passing New Smyrna Beach on its way to Miami. The leading engine is in the older Champion scheme as where to trailing engine is in the new Grupo Mexico scheme. Which one do you like best? In between the two engines is the LNG tender.
Both engines are GE ES44C4's.
That's all for today folks, thanks again for checking in and hope to see ya'll back soon.
Have an awesome rest of your day.
