Nice tutorial there Christian. Funny you included those mow machines parked in that spur. After a meet with friends in Port Richie, I decided to cross over to US 41 instead of returning to Port Charlotte down US 19. I was shocked at the growth north of Tampa Bay. No trains but I remember seeing that machinery AND the world-famous Lutz depot. 😂
The reason why a few trains get an EC-1 to go over Massachusetts Ave when those gates failed was because the failure would not appear on their train orders as it was just reported. If there was a train that would be heading down the carters sub and went on duty between P091 reporting it and signals dept. fixing it, they would automatically get that EC-1 line 6A as a Dispatcher bulletin. We also have to blow the standard crossing horn sequence for any activation failure or False/Partial Activation, even in quiet zones. (Much to the annoyances of the local Karens lol) EC-1's are a versatile form as a dispatcher can give me track authority, Speed restrictions, Dispatcher Bulletin annulments, or other instructions using one kind of form instead of me having to have 3-4 different books of forms for different kinds of messages.
I caught Amtrak 91 coming from Tampa with 161 leading in Lakeland and it blew its horn a bunch of times for some reason. Great video!
Amazing video. You have great knowledge about railroads
Much appreciated
Very Good. You've taken Prof. Harmon's lessons very well.
Appreciate it!
Very nice video, interesting commentary as always, and I learned quite a bit! Thank you.
Yessir Barry!
