Crusty Shitville

A drab-looking sky hangs over South Florida on the morning of November 2, 2023, as I hold my ground deep in the weeds by Control Point HARDY at Miami Gardens, FL; reports of a southbound CSX freight move on the RTA corridor in daylight had yet again prompted me to venture out to take my stake in documenting it. As with any outing to the RTA, TriRail commuter traffic would put some pixels to use before M45301 would show.

 

TriRail P62302 would show itself first, shooting southbound on track 2 under HARDY’s south signal gantry at 12:31. A crusted #TRCX823 [BLPH], having been victim to poor maintenance to its paint job for nine years, takes charge of its three-car BBL set towards its next station stop at Golden Glades, destined to terminate at the Miami Intermodal Center. Hopefully in due time, it’ll receive the new TriRail colors along with the rest of the fleet… For now, the weather compliments its crummy look.
