I'm a PC rail fan the way I am a TV sports fan.
We have two main lines running north/south. Amtrak and Tri-Rail service in SE Florida so we know the schedules. 1 mile east of that we have freight service, the only time the trains run there is when I'm in a hurry to get somewhere

There are overpasses for Amtrak line. F.E.C./CSX is street graded.

Most of the freight service is during the night-to be honest is nothing to write home about. Hoppers with sand and aggregates and some reefers or propane. It seems most of our produce and grocery comes in on trucks form other parts of the state-a pity.
