Due to the downturn of traffic, FEC is abolishing trains 111 / 212 and 123 / 224. Other trains will pick up their traffic. Train 109 will now become daily and will leave at 12:30AM instead of 3AM. 218 will now run on 224's current schedule. 210 will now depart at 1:30AM.

All jokes aside the C4's probably do ok down there since its flat. 12K feet of train is ridicoulous though for two of anything, well maybe except for two big 6's!

Power is always on the head end. Andrew Date: 06/28/16 16:48 Re: FEC today, told it was 101 S/B 12000+ ft Author: Lackawanna484 Thanks for info on the schedule change. Hope the business picks up, a lot of guys are losing work with the trains off.
But there have been a lot of work trains for All Aboard Florida, which helps. |
