CSXT P985 |
| Description: |
The James Strates carnival train, the last of its kind in the USA, makes its annual return to their home base in Taft. The train is running thru the siding, but will turn at Stanton & back into the Strates facilities. I'm sure the crew had fun in the cab setup of the Southern engine, not a common sight on this end of CSX. |

LTEX 9366/9239 On FEC |
| Description: |
2005 continues to be a colorful year for FEC. Train 125 is using two of the six LTEX leasers today, crossing St Sebasitan River in Roseland. All three of these motors have ties to the UP, lead SD40-2 is ex-UP proper & the two SD45-T2 are ex-SP/SSW. Despite the "No Trespassing" signs, you cannot blame the pelicans for using this bridge as a perch between dives. |
