Six axles, in Pinellas?!
Title:  Six axles, in Pinellas?!
Description:  Previously any attempts to bring anything larger than an SD40-2 have failed, and even that one was iffy. Here we catch an SD50 and a CW44AC coming up the old ACL line from Largo. I asked the engineer when he passed how they got those two beasts in here through the extremely tight curves in Safety Harbor, and he said he wasn't sure, but he wasn't looking forward to going back through them!

Can't hide Conrail
Title:  Can't hide Conrail
Description:  2478 may have a fresh new paint job, but the Conrail heritage shows through. Notice the water bottle on the plow...That should tell you how this guy had to c r a w l. That bottle sat on the pilot from the time I first caught this train all the way down at the Ulmerton Road crossing.
