In the northern outskirts of Fort Lauderdale, Florida sits a Conrad Yelvington distribution facility just off the CSX/SFRTA rail corridor. This place hosts quite the eclectic assortment of power used to switch railcars around their small yard. Displayed here is half of the plant's roster: PRLX GP38-2 #5250, an ex Southern high hood purchased by the Progress Rail lease fleet in 2020, and CYDZ ALCo S4 #364, which was built for the Seaboard Air Line as their number 1488 in April 1953. Also here at the plant is another Conrad Yelvington owned ALCo endcab and a PRLX GMD-1. Probably the last thing you'd expect to see in South Florida!
