Today's Train of Though- Spring Has Sprung, Feb 28th

Today's train of thought takes us to the Florida city that the Red Sox call home for a few weeks out of the year, but their arrival is a sign that spring is here no matter how cold it may get elsewhere.

And with the weather being as agreeable as it is for most of the year in the southwestern corner of Florida's peninsula, the Seminole Gulf railway decided to make use of its surroundings and operate some excursion trains.

Here, railpictures.net contributor Andrew Blaszczyk catches on of Seminole Gulf's former Long Island RR Power cars (converted from F9As) leading a short southbound River Rail Explorer excursion train across the Calloosahatchee River in Fort Meyers, FL on March 28, 2007. Both the Red Sox and the Twins would be wrapping up at their nearby spring training facilities.
