A huge Tri-Rail cake with a CSX cherry on top.

A few days railfanning around Miami Airport Station.

LOVE the horn show!!! Keep it up.

[@RailfanRene]

Horns are awesome. The best horns are at high speed though, it gives a nice change in tone when the train whizzes by. Thanks for watching.

Good Footage, Well Edited. Nice Work

[@RailfanRene]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍🏻

[@TheBudny]

Great stuff Rene!

[@RailfanRene]

Hey thanks Jim, welcome to the channel.

[@ajsrailfanning]

Is that the only GP49 running on Tri-Rail? Cause I thought they were planning on getting rid all of them. Btw great video!

[@RailfanRene]

If my sources are correct there are 4 in service at the moment, down from 6. They were refurbished in 2006 so they should be able to go another few years. I do hope they keep going because they are one of my favorites. Thanks for the compliment. 👍🏻

[@ajsrailfanning]

Oh ok that’s good

[@AverageSoFloRailfan]

The CSX local would've been CSX L789

[@RailfanRene]

Thank you for the info. Is there some sort of schedule I can refer to that you know of so I will be able to include it in my next videos? Or is that just local knowledge?

[@AverageSoFloRailfan]

@@RailfanRene local knowledge. it stuff you learn to catch on the more one is trackside and gaining connections with other photographers

[@HueyRailfanning]

​@@RailfanRene the main way to tell are the letters on the hoppers, there's two locals down there; one (L790) usually has newer VULX hoppers and L789 is usually PMRX and CYXX

[@RailfanRene]

@@HueyRailfanning thanks for the info. Are the road numbers the same, regardless the direction they’re going?

[@OleanderJunction]

​@@RailfanRene Hey Rene. All CSX trains have Trains Id's, a letter and a 3 digit number. The letter determines the type of train and the number determines the job its working. To figure out these ID's, they call it out on the radio when approaching signals. However, the Homestead Subdivision (via Miami International Airport) does not have CTC and signals. instead they use TWC (Track Warrant Control), in which they the crew needs a temporary warrant to occupy the track. They call it on the Radio during Job briefings and track warrant with the dispatcher (EC-1). As what "Huey Railfanning" said, the local that goes to Krome Quarry is Local L789, and the lehigh spur job that goes to Vulcan Materials in doral is L790. You can differentiate usually without a radio , based if it goes on the lehigh spur or not, and by the hoppers too which was already explained. I hoped this helped for your next video to include! The train symbol stays the same either direction and destination.
