Another great video... Thanks for covering Tampa locals in such detail, it's an often neglected part of railroading but quite a vital part (ask any rail customer) and I think more challenging to capture. Locals aren't as 'sexy' as the big road trains, often featured with foreign power or heritage engine catches. I enjoyed seeing locals in your video I have literally never seen before. I railfan West of the Tampa yards in the evening and occasionally the afternoon when the Amtrak trains run through Tampa. I routinely catch the locals L755, L778 (Neve spur), Y293 (evening S Line west of Yeoman Yard), Y295 (A-Line downtown Tampa Tu-Th-Sun and North to Mango M-W-F, sadly of course it no longer goes to the now-defunct Old Tampa Yard), and lately L783 on the AZA line. In all my thousands of times crossing the Clearwater sub everywhere from Pinellas County to Tampa Road to Sheldon Road, I have NEVER seen a train on it! The additional information and history you provide in your videos, plus the excellent, well-though-out narratives, make your videos a major cut above the majority of railfan videos. To me, the capture of the Clearwater local on the Hillsborough River Bridge is golden --- I don't know if anyone else has documented that.
Thanks for the kind words Barry! As far as the shot at over Hillsborough goes, I've only seen one video online documenting, in very bad quality (video is over a decade old now)
