Trip to NMRA 2002 in Fort Lauderdale, Fl
July 2002

The Plan for the trip is to catch as many Amtrak trains as possible because of the potential shut down. The second priority is Tri-Rail, then FEC if time and luck permits and then CSX.

AMTRAK: Sunset Limited


On my way from Kissimmee to a place where I can catch the Sunset Limited, at Taft, I get a look at the brand new paint job for the GCFX ghosts. Their answer to artistic futility: stripes. Actually not bad.
In the meantime, at CSX, after confusion rises with the exConrail leased LMS engines (they had the same numbers as the SD70MACs but with different reporting marks, these are renumbered with the other GEs, and the LMS letters ...covered up.
