Jacksonville Blitz Photo Essay - Part II

After Hardee's we moved south and battled the rains of the day. Q452 which I missed in Miami the night before finally got caught. The Great Chase...


Chasing mojo fell slightly apart as a prospective overpass  shot of a W057 got pooched by the rain, and Q025 would have to wait until we hit Red Dog. We narrowly missed Q026 departing at the spot and saw this treasure fronting 025:


The famed UPS hotshot Q034 (ex. Q174) would dog 026:



Q025 would finally get the go leaving Q155 behind it waiting for it to enter the yard. Q025 had an ex con leading and Q155 had a Boxcar GEVO leading.



We made our way towards Thomas Creek Rd to Crawford when NS 295 sped by.


Q602 was dogged over to Callahan which much to no delight had NO Union Pacific Power.


Another one too fast for the shutter was P098 for NY.


We returned to Hilliard for a little railfan gathering with Matt and another railfan who had been chasing with us all day. Here's S473.


Pardon the blur due to poor lighting but Q609 came by with a CSX-only dogs breakfast


And lastly, Q235 with a Spongebob Squarecab SD40-3 rolled by. I caught two more manifest but on video.



Big thanks to Paul Mathis for having us and the other members for making this an enjoyable trip.
