Trip to NMRA 2002 in Fort Lauderdale, Fl


CSX
Friday at Sanford-Orlando


The plan for the day  is to run early in the morning to Sanford and maybe catch the Auto Train. No luck. All I find is CSX 5881 sitting idle at the Sanford Depot.

No power of observation whatsoever. It took me 2 hours waiting for trains on the platform to even notice that the number boards were of different fonts.
Is this another case of Wrecked and Repaired?

As I was getting closer to Sanford, I had heard chatter on the radio, but only MOW releasing track warrants. I suspected something so I decided to wait it out at the Sanford depot as the Silver Star should not be long. Instead, Q455 is catch #1.

Q455 slows down for a meet in Longwood with its counter-part Q456 seen here take-off after the meet.
