It's also had a bad reputation as a crossbuck crossing too. With five reported deaths from accidents dating from 1996 to 2013.

One report stated that when a woman was killed when her SUV was struck by an Amtrak train in May 2003 that a passenger on the train was injured.

You mean CFRC? That's a CSX line i believe now owned by the OUC, i believe this line is the plans for a link for SunRails possible Orlando International AIrport link.

Some nice older L&N equipment there as well, still. :Smile:

Sadly that's the P&A Sub there, which had been put up for sale, last I heard, with all of the traffic routed off of it.
They/Them for me, please.
