Industrial Miami
When people hear about the city of Miami they usually think about Miami Beach/South Beach, the rich and famous, and luxury high rises, but there is a lot more to Miami than just that. There is railroading in Miami and a significant industrial scene. CSX and FEC both work Miami Industries, but today I focused on CSX, specifically CSX Y322, today's Downtown Job, which works a heavily industrial area in the middle of Miami moving various commodities. Being that the track is located in an industrial and urban area, and also sees use only a few times a week, the track and right of way aren't necessarily in the best of conditions making for some interesting railroading scenes.
Y322 is seen here heading back west with their train with an ex Clinchfield/ex-Seaboard GP38-2 with downtown Miami high-rises in the distance. This track was the former mainline to and from the Seaboard Air Line's Miami station, located near downtown Miami.
