Could someone explain to me what they find so fascinating about a train switching cars etc.? I get the excitement of watching a 2 mile train in beast mode traveling 70 miles per hour horn blaring a warning to stay back or get smashed to smithereens. But fascination with a lumbering repetitive snail speed switching I don't get.
@@exoressdelivers70 The throttle notch never stays the same. Cars get pushed, shoved, tossed aside, and kicked. Lots of horn. Most importantly in this case the scenery. Quite a few reasons.
Stumbled across this when I was mooching about looking at FEC operations, as someone on the Facebook group I'm in models FEC. I'm in the UK but have been able to visit Florida a few times since 1990. Mainly around Orlando but was also able to catch the West coast shortline, what was it, with GP9s.............the Seminole Gulf. I was able to explore a locomotive stabled there, unlocked, doors open, and take photos. Can I ask what equipment you use to make your videos - do you use GoPros? Really enjoyed all the switching, is it generally safe to be filming on your own in these locations? Those final four cars in your video, the tanks, what were they again? Sorry for all the questions, it just piqued my curiosity!
Historically this job would work whatever business was left on the current Port Lead but those customers faded away one by one leaving the CIS on its own.

Very interesting I love me some spur action
Awesome footage indeed, thanks for posting! Enjoy watching urban and industrial switching. It's like Lance Mindheim's layout brought to life!
Thank you! I enjoy watching these moves too.
Awesome video. I love watching trains switch industries
Thanks Scott!
Really like the switching video not many people bother when it is most interesting
Agreed. I am also a fan of it.
Thanks, Robert. I agree the switching action is super fun to watch.

Great video.......really appreciated the Trujillo switching action.
I had been hoping that you would cover this some time.
Brian Wilson Thanks! I'm glad things worked out in favor of capturing this move.

Thanks! I think the 4 tanks you are asking about haul carbon dioxide. I use a canon vixia and an iphone 11 to do supplementary shots.
Great video 😀👍👍
Thanks!
Very nice Tolga
Great stuff! Thanks for posting!
Thanks!
Thanks for this, much appreciated!
Thanks for the comment!
Great video. Great commentary and keep it up
Thanks!
Really nice video. Always enjoy the great narration. Too bad someone can't take the initiative to clean up all the garbage on and around the tracks.
Nice catch I didn't know that they had an extra on board?
I’m designing a switching layout in N Scale based on Trujillo’s operations. What type of tank car and hopper would I need? I’m ok for box cars.
Great video!
Thanks!
Great job!
Thanks Joe!
Nice video and narration man great content
Lazaro Lopez thanks Laz!
I didn't know that the NS Terminal used to be a TOFC Terminal! Where did you hear that? I'm very curious about that.
Yep, I've had several FEC employees tell me that plus see it on Historic Aerials.
Super nice job on the voice over !
Thank you!
Hey tolga did they cleaned up all the debris at the W 1ST AVE crossing?
No. I actually took my photo from atop a derelict mattress lmao. 10" elevation is 10" elevation.
@@TolgaEastCoast I also noticed that they added E-Bells to this crossing as well. Last time i been there it had the mechanical bells
0:12 is that a metro rail Hitachi Rail Car
Probably yes
Why is it called 'downtown' job works when this location is miles away from downtown Miami?
Historically this job would work whatever business was left on the current Port Lead but those customers faded away one by one leaving the CIS on its own.
