Chasing CSX V189 "FEC Coal" from Ga, Jax, and to South Florida

I joined Paul, Mike, Tim, and Tolga for a trip to Railwatch 2013 and one of my favorite trains of the trip was of CSX V189, the FEC bound coal train. We were lucky enough to catch him, the first time in Fort Mudge, Georgia, north of Folkston and south of Waycross, and we were really lucky to have caught the train again, but this time with FEC power in Jacksonville as it crossed over the St. Johns river. This is where Matt, Ryan, Phillip, his girlfriend, and Krystian met us at the boardwalk on the St.Johns river in downtown Jacksonville to get the shot. This is a move that not many people see, as it is done usually nocturnally. The coal train sat in the FEC's Bowden Yard for one more day and then it was run as a unit train down to Miami with a SD70M-2 leader. I caught the train again in Deerfield Beach, near my home town. It was really cool to see the train three times, and with different power each time.
