An oddly paired GP38-2 and Gevo spot a loaded boxcar of bricks on the W.R. Taylor Company spur off the Tarragona Street running trackage leading to the port of Pensacola. Once spotted, the crew will pick up the empty set out in the middle of Tarragona Street and head back to Goulding Yard. I can't even remember how many trips I've made to try and catch this move as it's extremely elusive and almost exclusively done at night. Depending on demand, W.R. Taylor might get as much as two cars a week or just one every two weeks or less. The only reason this happened in daylight (and barely as it was basically dark when they finished) is because the crew wanted to stay ahead of a storm and took care of it first thing on their shift.
W.R. Taylor receives brick shipments in these classic former-SP Hydro-Cushion boxcars from Columbus, MS. A few years ago they also still got high-cube boxcars from Chicago, but that has ended due to routing changes and the accompanying higher rates. W.R. Taylor is one of only a handful of customers in the entire country that still get serviced from a spur branching off of a street running section, so the operation is extremely unique. Pensacola, FL
Here is a link to a photo of the only other time I had managed to capture the move. It was back in 2017 and the crew was pulling a high-cube that had come in from Chicago during the more usual hours of this operation: flickr.com/photos/henry_dell/33865010663/in/album-7215771...

P001-15 is seen passing the eastbound searchlight signal at the west end of Fowlerville siding on the Plymouth Subdivision. By the time the OCS got to this location, there was probably 20+ trackside to photograph it.
CSXT 6014 spots a single tank car in the backwoods of Jacksonville's Commonwealth neighborhood on the creaky rails of the sparsely used spur to Triangle Fastener Corporation. This company is served only a handful of times a month with usually just a single car and makes the western most customer of the Edgewood yard industrial area. It's good to see this one has survived over the years; Adcom Wire and US Ink are the only two customers that closed shop and thus no longer require rail service around Edgewood yard in the last few years. This spur has a diamond where a long disused spur crosses the line in the middle of the woods; unfortunately I didn't have time to make it to that spot this time. Here's a photo of the diamond the spur crosses: flickr.com/photos/henry_dell/16107415778/in/album-7215764...
And some photos of the now gone Adcom Wire and US Ink spurs getting serviced a few years ago: flickr.com/photos/henry_dell/14218532940/in/album-7215764...
