These heritage engines are hard catches; it takes great patience waiting for one to come by, that's what raifaning is all about, catching these great engines as they drive by and to show the love these railfans have to share with all the people who are too busy to appreciate how important rail roads are to all our lives hauling goods to people all across America, FEC has dedicated special engines for our veterans and breast cancer victims and other people with hardhips in their lives THANK YOU EVAN for documenting these great engines ann the men who drive them and the men who work on them to keep Florida East Coast Rail ROAD one of the best in our country
Thanks grandma

Great catches, that was a lucky grab of 425!
Thanks I’m glad I caught 425 on train 915
What time did 915 pass when it was going north?
I think around 9:15 am
