FEC is one of a very few Railroads that uses LNG to power their locomotives, you can see the storage tank nestled between the two locomotives. In addition, FEC has the fastest service between Miami and Jacksonville. FEC owns the 351 mile track between the two cities and is the exclusive provider for the Port Miami, Port Everglades (Fort Lauderdale), and Port of Palm Beach.
Hi, just found your channel. Love the angle at 7:40. If only you could shoot more at that angle and distance. Sometimes seems like your tripod is too close and has too much off track scenery clutter to appreciate the train itself.
@@iamCrwly yes. That car is a “LNG tank” LNG stands for liquefied natural gas. It’s an alternative for using all standard diesel. Florida East Coast uses that car which connects to the locomotives, to supply that LNG. This practice is safer for the environment!
I am planning on coming down to Florida after christmas i am trying ti figure out where to railfan i have been lately watching vidoes on the FEC line i was wondering if its worth it to railfan the FEC and brlightline tracks in the morning or afternoon?
@@SCL6054Prouctions the best times for freight action depend on were you are in Florida. Mostly it’s heavy action in the morning and evening with a afternoon train as well. For bright line I would just find the nearest station on google and it shows the arrival times for trains. You can sorta estimate when you’d see one
I'm gonna be staying in lake county because my family live in that general area but I am hoping my parents will agree to go to Cocoa Florida, I'm not familiar with the fec tracks
@@SCL6054Prouctions if you do go to coco, you can see some action pretty early morning around 5-6 am. You’d see 202 and 204. 204 will have EMD leaders. Then you should see a local train as well. 105 leaves Jacksonville at 1 so you’d probably see him around 3. Then 107 leaves Jacksonville around 5-7. You’d also see 206 around 4-6 pm
Excellent video!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Been a big fan of the FEC for years. Very generally, those guys don't waste time and are usually bustin a hump on their routes.
@@NVRAMboi can’t get enough of the good old FEC!
Cool seeing searchlights still kicking, good catches
Thank you! Yeah these bad boys are rocking
Cool, the very first crossing had wishbone gates. Those trains really fly. Gives me an adrenline rush. Awesome video
@@georgettedebuhr2660 thank you! Yeah man these things don’t waste any time getting to 60 mph
@@RC.EST16Do they run any faster on the double tracks shared with Brightline?
@@chuckw4254 I believe they run around the same speed which is 60mph. For brightline they go much faster
I see these locomotives multiple times daily everyday at my job passing by
Me encanto el video. Gracias
great video ❤❤😍😍
