Eastern Railroad Discussion > A morning in Baldwin FL (The "Diamond") and FEC Bridge JAXDate: 02/07/25 16:52 A morning in Baldwin FL (The "Diamond") and FEC Bridge JAX Author: johnusnsd A half-day in Baldwin (0800-1200) - - and nothing but yard moves - 1 NB and 1 SB and a ballast train WB from JAX working the North and South Wye. Also, I thought I had read (or heard) that the Baldwin Diamond was removed - maybe back in 2021 timeframe - but I could be wrong. But, the diamond is absolutely there. Also, caught one coming across the FEC bridge in JAX.
1. The "Diamond".........again, not sure if I mis-read it somewhere - but I could have sworn that here in the TO forum, there was a story about the Baldwin diamond being pulled up. 2.

Here is a photo of the new pre-fabricated diamonds next to the spot where it will be reinstalled. The photograph was take in May 2023.
