Eastern Railroad Discussion >

No Data received from Birmingham, Manchester, Waycross, Jacksonville.
From our information received, arrival in Orlando, FL is “scheduled” between 06:00 AM EST and 12 Noon EST Wednesday 05 Dec 12.

From “2011 Traveling Archives”:
– Section 7.8 Start 2011 Data FL–CT Upon arrival at Orlando Terminal: Florida Central Railroad (FCEN) will be responsible for the spotting of the 4 Stocks and the 19 Flat Cars. CSXT will be responsible for spotting the Coaches and COFC’s. The Stocks & Equipment Flats are usually stored on Pinsly's Florida Central, their Silver Star Branch has close proximity to the Central Florida Fair Grounds which serve as the base until Circus heads south to begin the 2012season. The Coaches are doubled up at CSXT's Pineloch Yard, south of downtown Orlando, with easy access to all the local roads, stores & attractions. “The Network’s” Data Retrieval System (DRS) provided Photos of the Coaches and 2 COFC’s located on tracks parallel to the warehouses between West Pineloch Avenue and Drennen Road, Orlando, FL. Photos also show the Flats on double tracks between two warehouses off Eunice Avenue and the Stocks along Commercial Loop just north of the Flats. Hopefully, we are looking for the same operations sequence to take place this year (2012) for the Blue Unit, except for the time differentials. – Section 7.11 End 2011 Data FL–

Looking forward to reporting from our Florida followers as the BU CT leaves Jacksonville.

Edited For: The last Photo session of the BU CT heading south, took place south of Ft. Branch, IN along County Road 25 W. on 03 Dec 2012 in the afternoon time period.
Edited For: Received Photo: P921-03 crossing the Ohio River Bridge, Rahm, Indiana, south of Evansville, IN – afternoon on 03 Dec 2012

All for now. ∑:=)

Per this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUAzBrJAxjA&feature=g-u it was apparently through Folkston at 1am.

Anybody know if it ran the A-Line or S-Line?

BU CT arrived Orlando, FL 07:30 AM EST, Wednesday, 05 Dec 12.
End of journey.

Just curious, did it traverse the S-Line or A-Line from Jacksonville?

They would have taken the CSXT line due south out of JAX on which Auto Train runs, as Orlando [this Edition's Winter storage location] is on that line.

Came down "A" Line.
