Brett, another nice photo. I was at that exact location in April 1997. During that trip I photographed my first CSX dedicated maintenance locos in orange with black lettering.

By the way, look for more of my SD75 images on Chuck Donaldson\'s site in a few days.

P.S. Are you sure that isn\'t the Amtrak auto train heading North out of Sanford?

Yep, that\'s the Sunset. The Auto train goes through J-ville. My mistake.

Thats a big 10-4, definitely not the Auto train. The CSX Baldwin yards, just to the right of the train, see only the Sunset (which never pass through the yards, rather just to the north of them) and the Palmetto, which passes there in the early morning hours. (ie dark)

The other Amtrak trains through FLA run on the CSX line about 15 miles east of here.

Will look for your shots on Chuck\'s site. Have you looked at mine for the UP SD-70\'s? You are more than welcome to send some my way.

You posted while I was replying, you got it figured out!

I\'ve been getting a lot of those lately. Will be heading over to the Needles Sub this coming weekend.
