Cane 1 Hustling Along
South Florida is table top flat and pretty boring but the trains down here are so unique they more than make up for that!
South Central Florida Express train Cane 1 is zipping along at 40 MPH making their 50 mile trip from the Childs loadout to the Clewiston mill as they approach the busy US Route 27 crossing at MP 924 (as measured from Richmond, VA via the old Atlantic Coast Line main). The sweet smelling train of fresh cut cane is led by USSC 4203, a rebuilt GP40-2 that began life in Oct. 1966 as a straight GP40 built new for the Milwauke Road as their number 193.
