Bye Bye, Arcadia
#SGLR595 and #SGLR593, two of the shortlines’ multiple rare GE B39-8E’s, ease through the southwestern neighborhood of Arcadia, FL on the DeSoto Turn’s usual twice weekly southbound to Fort Myers. Engineer Scott Mitchell gives his two horses a good warmup to get their 41 car train moving out of town, the units belching thick smoke into the air, as GE’s are best known for. From their location, the Turn still has some 53 miles left to travel before reaching Seminole Gulf’s Hanson Yard in Fort Myers, on top of having to serve customers at Bayshore on their run south.
