Ascending Raccoon Mountain - a photo on Flickriver

            It's very rare for me to very be interested in a #trailfail. I quite honestly just don't understand people that get excited whenever a heritage unit or rare engine comes to an area that is trailing 2nd or 3rd, yet will still want updates & will chase. I just see way better things to get excited for or for much better ways to spend my free time.

However, there are the (very) rare instances where the rule meets its exception. CSX S988 in July of 2022 was one of them. S988 was the delivery run of two brand new Brightline trainsets on their to Florida from the Siemens factory in California. Green 2 & Pink 2, the names the trainsets have been dubbed, were built in anticipation for Brightline's expansion to Orlando which will open later this year.

Having never seen one of the trainsets in person, the chance to document them in territory they'll never be seen in again & with a few friends along for the ride that wanted to see them to, we had ourselves a plan for the afternoon. Here, we see them climbing Raccoon Mountain as they head for Wauhatchie. 7-17-22
