A trio of CSX AC's were sitting on the lead just south of Moncriet Yard at McQuade Street. They were waiting for Amtrak's Silver Star to pass before they continue their switching.

Like many eastern Amtrak routes, the Silver Star does not use any Superliners. Instead, there is a mix of equipment as seen in this picture heading south out of Jacksonville.

A CSX coal empty heads north through the Jacksonville suburb of Lakeside. I was hoping for a southbound hear, but when you are on vacation, you have to take what you can get!

After several days of not managing to catch any Florida East Coast action (at least, not in good lighting), I finally caught my break in the 11th hour! 10 minutes before my train chasing for the trip was done, Florida East Coast sent Train #101 south out of Bowden Yard. Here, it is being led by FEC 106 and CITX 142 (a leaser SD70M-2).

Had to grab a roster shot of this Florida East Coast SD70M-2. I think this is a really cool regional railroad that operates between Jacksonville, FL and Miama, FL. One of the things I really like about it is that it is primarily an intermodal railroad with multiple TOFC and COFC trains running daily across the railroad.
