Back from a great vacation for several days at Disney World in Florida. On the Disney World Railroad, we rode behind ten-wheeler #1 (Walter E. Disney):
and ten-wheeler #3 (Roger E. Broggie):
We also rode Amtrak's Auto Train back home. Tight accommodations in a couple of roomettes, but worth the adventure. First up, some cool Amtrak artwork:
At the Amtrak station in Sanford, Florida, the train must be put together just before departure, because the tracks aren't long enough and a road crosses the yard:
Leaving Sanford on SunRail tracks. We're Amtrak #52 (northbound Auto Train), known on CSX as P052-26:
Found this along the line in Florida somewhere:
Seeing the mess of I-95 heading southbound last weekend, I was really surprised to see that the tracks through Jacksonville, Florida are also a bottleneck. Look at this curve (the speed limit sign is at the bottom of the picture). Squeal!
From the James River Bridge in Richmond, Virginia, as we entered CSX's RF&P Subdivision. That's the CSX (former C&O) Rivanna Subdivision down below.
Ashland, Virginia station and some street track running:
Upon arrival at Lorton, Virginia, we waited about twenty to thirty minutes for our car to be unloaded:
