Stoppped here for two hours on the 18th. First was a southbound AMT, then several freights, one was Q127. Can’t find my notes! One northbound general freight. The last was containers southbound with 4 UP providing the horses.
Liked what they have done with the scanner running and charts indicating where things are, including the detectors that you heard.
Met a Midwesterner who was visiting Florida and drove up. A Marylander who used to live in Clearwater that had been there several times. He knew that one of the locals that drove up to see how we were doing was one of the gentlemen that spearheaded the platform project. Two ladies came from Tifton heading for the beach. They said there was an article in Southern Living recently about the platform. Several others came and went.
It was very interesting and on my agenda to do when I have more time. Callahan should have a mirror image at the south end of the funnel.
Thanks for the report. There was an AP article recently that appeared in the Washington Post, Savannah (GA) Morning News, and probably many other papers. It ran on 7/17, I believe. The Post had several pretty interesting pictures with the article.

What day of the week did you go on? I was there on a Saturday afternoon and saw two trains stopped side by side becase the system was bottlenecked. (a fellow railfan told me that one of the trains had been there a good four hours).
