FEC Coal Out West

ID'd as FEC 292, the yard crew with their power is taking 50 loaded CSX coal hoppers to Titan America's Pennsuco Cement Plant where the 11AM crew will spot cuts of them in. The power will go on to couple to their outbound train for Fort Pierce which was kept aired in Medley 4 by the GP40-2 that will handle the loads. They're going by the industrial park near MP ML3. The east side to the left of the train is asymmetrically more active than the west side in frame, with the east side serving F Garcia, Molinera Foods (on occasion), and Tropic Oil and Amerigas. The west side used to have Falcon Distribution before they either merged or moved to the location on the Gardens Lead, and should still have Imex Paper and maybe another customer. Cargill used to take tanks here but that's been long abandoned. Interestingly a lot of the warehouses including the one whose porch I'm standing on sit vacant awaiting a lessor, so foreseeable future rail service is never out of the question.
