CSXT 2314 |
| Description: |
CSX O925, which is a Central Phosphate to Port of Tampa shifter carrying Anhydrous Ammonia and Phosphate has an lot more units today than it usually does as it negotiates the curve at Plant City. Typically the train has the same power all the time, CSXT 6900 (GP40-2) and CSXT 2316 (Road Slug), but today it is joined by GP39-2s 4300, 4301 and 4308. The crew dropped the GP39-2s off at the "enginehouse lead" before continuing on to Hookers Point. |

CSXT 4301 |
| Description: |
Y250, the Yeoman Yard to old Port Tampa local with GP39-2 CSXT 4301 as the sole po{er crossing over the Hillsborough River. This bascule bridge built by the ACL in 1915. The bridgetender stands in the door to the tenders house. This bridge once saw dozens of movenents a day but now sees usually just 1 movement a day and is only manned as necessary. The line to Port Tampa goes right through downtown Tampa and there is a short stretch of s‡seet running involved. |

| Description: |
CSX Y225, the Yeoman to Port Tampa job led by GP39-2s CSXT 4308 and 4303 cross 14th street interlocking in Ybor City just outside of downtown Tampa. This is one of the few places in the country that a class 1 railroad crosses at grade with a trolley line, in this case, the TECO Tampa Trolley system, which runs from Ybor City to Downtown Tampa via the "Channelside District". In the distance, ominous storm clouds are gathering. |

CSX 4310 |
| Description: |
CSX O701 about to leave St. Petersburg Yard with 2 motors and 15 cars, mostly loaded aggregate hoppers. The crew reported that the 4310 would not load in reverse, so the ex-Conrail GP38-2 2704 was doing all the work on reverse moves. St Petersburg Yard now consists of 2 yard tracks, of which only 1 is used except in rare occasions. Mostly used as a run-around track actually. This was once a good sized coach yard and shops where all St. Petersburg bound passenger trains terminated and were serviced. The entire yard and shops complex was abandoned in 1984 when Amtrak discontinued service to St. Petersburg. A Home Depot now sits on the site of the former yard. |

CSX 4310 |
| Description: |
Something you dont see every day while railfannning. CSXT O702 which is the Clearwater to Tampa local runs across the Clearwater municipal golf course. O702 is a semi-daily local which runs Clearwater to Tampa once daily each way. Today GP39-2 4310 and GP38-2 2704 do the duties. Power is typically 1 or 2 GP39-2's depending on train lengths. The Clearwater Sub is at it's low point as far as train traffic goes. Historically the line hosted as many as 6 passenger trains each way daily and many local and transfer freights. It is now down to O700 the Clearwater to St. Pete local and the O701 Clearwater to Tampa Local. |
