Here are the links to the videos from my latest trip to Central Florida last Monday, one of the coldest days on record for this part of the country - 31ºF in Naples when I left at 4:45 AM and 25ºF in Bushnell when I arrived at 7:30. It actually warmed up to a comfy high of 41ºF while I was in Plant City. Now this is Florida railfanning at its finest.
Ted: Interesting videos, thanks for sharing. Couple of questions/comments.
Video III-- Do not thnk I have ever seen RB&BB’s in a single train with that manycars; I counted 42 passsenger cars and 19 equipment flats ( If my count was close).
Video IV-- The cars shown, hopper cars ( ?) or are they gondolas(?) are they meant to be dumped on a roaery dumper? The door arangement (seemed to be designed in a style that would deposit to the rail-side, rather than in a thru the rails application.) I had not seen that specific designed car bottom style before.
Around here most of the hoppers are a bottom discharge design. You know BNSF ‘grain worms’ (solid cylindrical BNSF brown hopper cars)are pretty common as are full hopper trains.
