Eastern Railroad Discussion > 202 passing 300 at 3:47

Here's FEC train 202 passing milepost 300 ("MH" tower south, West Palm Beach) at 3:47pm today.  Storms kicking up near the end of a warm, humid day here in (mostly) sunny south Florida.

Nice!  Are there always intermodal or general freight after the rock cars on this train?

Yes - usually a cut of rocks up front, followed by a dog's breakfast of whatever they have going north, including intermodal, autoracks, tanks, coal cars (mty of course), etc. etc.

Real nice picture.  BUT, the post title is very unclear ..... On purpose?

FEC has been running PSR for decades. Easy to do when all you terminals are in that same location.

Nice pic!!
