An MP15 engine's visit to Tampa for several months in early 2023!

Fantastic footage. Thank you.

1181 has a fouled K5LA??

Very nice montage, Barry. Will be tough to live with no tanker service to Rattlesnake point.

Thanks, that means a lot coming from you. I'm trying to capture nice sequences around Tampa that are interesting. However it's sad that some of them are also acting as documentaries of decades-old rail services that have come to an end. I plan to re-do a lot of footage of Old Tampa yard at some point into a better-edited video. I had planned to shoot a daytime version of my 'Definitive Y295 Night video" but since the Rattlesnake service ended, the night version will have to do.

Quad graphics no longer receives shipment as of august 2024 so the picnic island job is the only thing keeping y295 afloat

[@TolgaEastCoast]

@@Tampa_Railfan that's sad.

[@cliff3963]

Great catch! What horn is that? Awesome sounds!

[@JV-qe7ez]

Pretty sure it's a k5la with a dead #1 bell.

[@SuperDuckman24]

So does that mean no street running in Tampa?

[@tampatrainguy8486]

There are still two customers South of Downtown, Quad graphics gets boxcars 2-3 times a week, and occasionally hoppers also go to the port at the end of the line near Picnic Island, so for now it's still running.

Land sold to condo developers. I'm sure that was an entirely transparent and entirely above-board financial transaction.🤑💰😒🤫 😌
