Friday Night @ Hollywood

As a prologue to the August Jacksonville Blitz I hit up Hollywood in search of trains.

This Friday night outing followed the usual dinner item except it was scheduled later than before. I hope this becomes a new tradition as the numbers were and could be very decent.

First the usual showstopper, 101 passed by about half past 10 with a full intermodal train. It was making good speed which was a welcome thing since I've always seen them crawling through Hollywood since the signal got moved.

Q453 who paralleled closely got a visit from me for logistical reasons. Lots of gravel for Conrad Yelvington on it aside from usual manifest loads for area customers. 10:42 PM

I almost missed out on dinner at A La Turca which was closing a bit early. Fortunately we weren't turned away and had dinner. We walked around Hollywood as 226 got the go through town.

It clocked in just after the stroke of 12 with a nasty RS3L and IM hotshot to JAX.

the real treat was FEC 141 which was a rock extra out of Fort Pierce. This was sort of a trip down memory lane and the likes of 191. It passed by at 1:03 AM.




To be posted separately is a catch in Fort Lauderdale around 2 AM which was prolonged due to where I was in terms of where it had to set out and made interesting by the idiots tampering with it.
