Midget Port Train
Midget Port Train

It had been three weeks since I had left home in Miami to venture around Chile for a little over two weeks, shooting all kinds of familiar and new interesting operations I had not been able to document in years past. It was a memorable trip overall, but alas, I had to go back home eventually, back to the mundanity that is South Florida railroading. Taking into account I hadn’t shot one of the railroad’s operations in a while, I took my chances at shooting some midday Florida East Coast Railway trains along the Belt Line for my first outing since returning, aiming to get FEC 206-22 and PM1-22.

Come 13:00 while set up at MP 365 looking down towards CP N IRIS, the first train to roll around wasn’t the 206-22, but PM1-22. Easing through the crossovers and under the signal gantries, the train is a whopping two cars long, comprised of two loaded three-platform wellcars. It and the power pulling it, #FEC715 [SD40-2], are headed towards PortMiami where the containers will be transferred to a cargo vessel bound for somewhere in the Caribbean. Equally as surprising as the size of PM1-22 was the time frame it come around; typically this Job follows FEC 206 out of Hialeah Yard onto the Belt, depending on the work needed to be done in the yard. The short cut of traffic for the Port must’ve expedited the crews work, allowing them to squeeze out before 206-22.
