Pre Thanksgiving Railfanning on the FEC ( Ft. 430, a late 204 & Ryan the FL Railfan )

On the first day of Thanksgiving week I heard that FEC train 204 ( northbound counterpart to 103 ) was running Several hours late luckily I made it to Cocoa just in time to catch 204 passing through Byrd Plaza. After 204 passed I caught FEC Local 915 returning north to Titusville after dropping off its Rock Loads at Cocoa Yard. & 915’s power was once again GP40-3 430 ( the Veterans Unit ). While I was at my train club in Titusville I heard the sound of a K5LA horn in the distance & that meant that 430 was taken off 915 at New Symrna Yard & was swapped with GP38-2 510 so good thing I caught 430 on 915 at Byrd Plaza. After my train club I went to Harrison Street to catch Southbound train 107 with my friend Ryan Wyrick ( Ryan the FL Railfan ) to end off the day. Hope you enjoy the video : )
