I work for Amtrak in NYC and I am on vacation in Sarasota FL where I grew up. It has been about eight years since I have had a long enough vacation here to do some railfaning.. I plan to go to the Tropicana area on Friday..I used to hang around Tropicana and the Seminole Gulf RR alot when I was in junior high school. I befriended many of the local crewmembers that might be still around. Those particular jobs that served Bradenton from Tampa were always very high senority ones. I want to know what has changed besides big modern CSX Road Power instead of Seaboard/SCL&LN B36-7's and U36B's. I am also concerned about being hassled by the local authorities because I would like to video tape also. If anyone out there can give me the latest scoop , Please let me know....Thank You!!!
