Brightline backed a Rail train over Industry Road in Cocoa and started unloading rail. The rail has been pulled several miles to the west over I95.

Very nice video.

[@MrTherende]

Hey that looks like a SUNY Brockport T-shirt at the start of the video. You an Alum? I used to drive by to and from work at Kodak Elmgrove.

[@JackFerguson]

Good catch! I’m actually a Brockport native. I picked the shirt up at Walmart on a recent visit. Although I never attended a class at SUNY Brockport it was a big part of our high school years 😀. My sister and many friends worked at “the Great Yellow Father” back in its heyday!

@@JackFerguson The big yellow box was lots of fun. I lived in Rochester and Lyndonville during my tenure there. SUNY ESF/Syracuse graduate. Most recently, I lived in Lyons for about 20 years and now I'm in northern Maine. I was born in NYC, and I grew up in Pinellas and Orange counties, and briefly in Cocoa so Brightline is fascinating to me. I've got lots of memories of New York Central, ACL and of course the subways. Funny, you went south, and I went north for retirement.

How long are those rails❓

[@JackFerguson]

Those rails are 1600 ft long. In the video I referred to them as 1/4 mile long but they are actually longer, 1600 ft long for a total of 7.5 miles of track on each rail train.

[@trirail812productions8]

[@JackFerguson]

The mornings are the FEC train watching time here. We have through trains, an arriving rock train and often local action.
