FEC Oak Hill- Titusville-
Melbourne Amtrak Palmetto
in Winston CSX NB freight with
CSX 8704 Last day of the trip, I head out as early as I can to catch the Palmetto
in and out of Tampa. No luck in, so I have to wait for the out. I decide
early on Winston junction for the shot.
Winston, Fl. Waiting for the train, even early in a June morning, the air is thick,
and the 3 90s of Florida apply: 90% humidity, heading for the 90s if not
already there, and 90% chance of an afternoon thunderstorm.
The "Don't call me Silver Palm anymore" Palmetto comes out of Tampa
about on time.
