Famed Model Railroader Lance Mindheim visited Miami last week on his annual boomerang run to Prototype Rails in Cocoa Beach, FL. Of course, every Miami trip comes with a look at the spurs. East Rail is doing very well this week... While it was thought Guixens Food stopped getting cars, they have had loads spotted. Sentry has cars, SALCO has cars, Weeks Gas has cars, and while not mentioned I am sure Pan American Papers probably had cars or is about to receive them. At least it quantifies running Y120 regularly there twice a week, and even running what I call surprise yard jobs day and night.
Speaking of Yard-job operated spurs, the Lehigh Spur has been deadly quiet, beyond reasonable. I believe there has been a lone Florida Rock hopper sitting outside the Miami quarry since July (Saw it from the Turnpike) and word on the street was they are just struggling to get mining permits. Cemex hasn't been taking in Coal ash for the longest time, but I hope I will see a job work there soon.
