I wasn’t specifically seeking the CSX Tropicana Juice Train on its thrice-weekly way north from Bradenton, but heading south on US 41, I noted that the bridge spanning the Palmetto River had been lowered. Assuming that the train had not already just crossed, I knew I had but 10 minutes to pull off the highway, find a parking spot and then dash to a suitable photting spot. Phew! I made it with just one minute to spare, a lucky day. Leading the double-headed consist was CSX #973, nicely side-lit in the mid-morning sunshine. It is a GE AC4400CW. Out of view behind it is sister locomotive #3360.
