Trains in FL

Posted by SMassey on Thursday, December 22, 2005 4:02 PM

Howdy everyone!! [C):-)]

I ma going to be going to Pensacola FL here in about another week and was wondering if any of you out there know of good places to get some photos of any trains in that area. Here in Norfolk I can get some NS and CSX photos but I dont know if and or where any trains are down in Pensacola. Also any good spots down I-95 from Norfolk to FL would be nice too. If any one knows also of websites that would show me a map of where tracks are and how buisy they are?

Thanks in advance [8)]

Pensacola is served by CSX (formerly L&N) and the Alabama and Gulf Coast (formerly BN). http://www.railamerica.com/railmaps/AGR.htm
It is also a stop on Amtrak's Sunset Limited, which has not run east of New Orleans through Pensacola since Katrina, and probably several more weeks yet.
Have a look around on Terraserver before you go.

I believe if you join rrpicturearchives they have a tonnage map you can look at.
