This was the third railroad crossing I recorded on March 17, 2026. After recording 85th Street in Wabasso, the documentation of the FEC Mainline continued, until I had to get another video of another crossing because another Brightline train was coming. This time, a bit interesting because of the WCH 2nd Gen mechanical bells here!

Also, why only just 4 passenger cars as opposed to the usual 10 for this specific Brightline train?
