Interesting Sunset Line Up
Title:  Interesting Sunset Line Up
Description:  The suset is turing around at the Taft Wye in Taft, Florida. No your not seeing things, it has three different locomotives. The story was the Amtrak Unit died in New Orleans, so they picked up the UP loco. The UP loco died in Northern Florida so they picked up the CSX loco. To make matters worse it was a day late!

CSXT P985
Title:  CSXT P985
Description:  The James Strates carnival train, the last of its kind in the USA, makes its annual return to their home base in Taft. The train is running thru the siding, but will turn at Stanton & back into the Strates facilities. I'm sure the crew had fun in the cab setup of the Southern engine, not a common sight on this end of CSX.
