Florida Highland Railroad

[gilbothe1st]

Hi all
New here, just like to share a quick video of my growing fleet for the Florida Highland Railroad
The FHRR is my freelance addition to the Pinsly railroad operations in Florida. The idea behind it is that the FHRR links all five Pinsly shortline from Newberry in the north with Lake Wales in the south via old abandoned lines. Their HQ are based in Highland City FL.

Another railroad, the Florida Southern is rumored to be taking over CSXs switching duties in Miami and FHRR looking at the prospect of taking over everything south of Highland City from the CSX apart from the Bone Valley operations

Anyhow here's the YouTube link

Nice looking fleet! 1st & 2nd gen EMD, and a couple of rebuilds. You're about the same era as my Freelance Pacific Belt RR. Or it appears....
I'm 1977-78.

Love the color scheme TOO!
Oh - and we're all friends here! What's your name?
(I'll forget it in 3 days, but it can't be harder to remember than mine!!)

Love the FreeMo layout posted back in October. I'm a big fan of the concept... unfortunately I don't live good place to participate in such a thing without a couple hour drive.
