I just love that random intermodal car at the end of the rock train, LOL. Nice catches!

[@rufec12]

Lol. The FEC tends to throw anything on some trains. Thanks!

FWIW it's crazy to see how quickly a train that long can get up to speed on flat land with only 3 units! Great video!

[@rufec12]

It is! Thank you!

rufec12 Not that rare, me and tommy4trains caught an FEC meet once in Hialeah around 12:00 P.M. EST with a Mixed Freight and a Rock.

Extremely rare. 224 goes on in Lauderdale at 1030pm. For the train to only be at Hypoluxo after the sun comes up is very rare!!

[@AndyRillo]

rrmike19 True...

Awesome meet and video!

[@rufec12]

Thanks!

[@TEMAOHI2787]

AWESOME VID!!!!

[@rufec12]

Thanks!

[@AndyRillo]

I find it disturbing that this is 9:11 minutes long! O_o

[@rufec12]

People complain either way. People complain that the videos are too long or too short. Some people don't want to see the entire train, while others do. To make everybody happy I show the majority of the train because you can simply skim ahead and skip to the part you wish to see. You can never make everybody happy. Oh, and by the way, 224 is rarely ever seen in daylight in southern Florida. It departs Fort Lauderdale around 10 o'clock at night. I never said that meets were rare, I said that seeing 224 in daylight and managing to see it meet a train in southern Florida in daylight is rare. Try searching for a video of FEC Train 224 in southern Florida in daylight.

rufec12 The size of the video is fine, I saw the whole thing, I was just saying how it's 9:11 minutes because of 9/11........... :-P

Those are usually toxic chemicals like cyanide
