Hi-Rail at the Junction

F550 Hi-Rail vehicle visits caboose Junction during a test drive. This hi-rail vehicle worked the full day shift, was tuned/repaired by the mechanical department in the late afternoon hours, and then stopped briefly during the road test after repairs. Mileage on these vehicles is heavy and harsh in the railroading environment; therefore, proper maintenance is a must.

TRAINS,TRAINS,TRAINS 2013



TRAINS,TRAINS,TRAINS Saturday July 27, 2013

 

fecNtrak's 8th annual TRAINS,TRAINS,TRAINS event was held at the Brevard County

Regional Library in historic Cocoa on Saturday July 27, 2013.  The modular railroad was a

great hit, so was Jerry's artifact/memorabilia presentation. And of course, the display cases

were real eye-catchers, too.

 

The N sized train-mounted mini-cam broadcast live tv picture and our A/V technician produced

a live-stream video of the entire show which will remain available in archive.

 

Special thanks to Rich Clemons for bringing his display of the working block signal.

 

Best of all, the children enjoyed running the trains and becoming Jr. Engineers.

 

It was wonderful to visit with our many fans and friends throughout the event and to watch

so many excited children enjoy the trains.

 

FECRS and fecNtrak would like to thank all our friends for their help, support and best

wishes. I'm sorry for not mentioning you all by name.

 

Best regards, cabooseMikey.
