915 The Right Way
The only Florida East Coast trains I shot on my recent trip were the exact same pair on two subsequent days. After getting this 915 local on Tuesday as seen here: flic.kr/p/2nhiUeZ I shot them again the very next day.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that even though it was the same geep, it had been turned since the prior day making for a much nicer image. GP40-2 FEC 935 (blt. Dec. 1966 as a straight GP40 for the Burlington Route as CBQ 173) has a much shorter train this time hustling south at about MP 154.2 on the 369 mile long mainline that stretches down the east coast from the St. Johns River Bridge in Jacksonville to Hialeah Yard in Miami. They have just crossed Main Street up near the historic center of town and are on the single track north of the Indian River City interlocking where the dozen miles of double main begins.
