As a boy in the early 50's we lived about a mile from the Florida East Coast mainline in Biscayne Park, Florida. A buddy of mine and I would hang out by the track, placing pennies in the rail, and so forth. The only steam we'd see would be an occasional 2-8-2 or 4-8-2 pulling a work train, although there were still 0-8-0's in the Miami Buena Vista yard. In the summer of '55 I visited the boneyard in New Smyrna Beach, Florida- long lines of 4-8-2's and 0-8-0's. Very sad sight! They were all scrapped shortly thereafter.
