John, Just checked out your website, WOW! What a trip down memory lane !!! Born & raised in Ft. Lauderdale (living in Kansas the last 10 years & learning to love Armour Yellow) till '88, the FEC & SCL were what I cut my young railfan teeth on. I so remember that interlocking "shack" (hardly a tower eh?) at the SCL Port Everglades access & I'm proud to say (but BARELY remember)that as a wee-youngin' I rode the Gold Coast Railroad when it was still just north of the airport. Your photo of the New River Bridge did it for me the most though. I can remember spending MANY hours at that exact spot (& the other 3 corners as well) waiting for that countdown timer to come on, hear the warnning horn sound, watch the span come down, & then watch & listen as a train (or two) banged across the bridge. I recall trying to talk to the bridge tender a couple of times but he wasn't too interested in me - "get outta here kid, yer tresspassin'!). Oh well, thanks for the memories. Matt
