    Hi Danny - Bradenton native here... Yes, you are correct, that was originally SAL tracks that crossed the river about where you were seeing the remnants of the bridge. In the late 80's the tracks and crossing gates were there and removed in the early 90's. The wye originally was the spur to Bradenton for the SAL terminal which was located just north of the Central Fire Station. A project we did found the original SAL tracks at the south end of the property behind Air and Energy - back in the day there was a diamond crossing there.

    • @distantsignal

    Once again another great job Mr. D. That Seaboard Air Line phantom trackage you spoke of in the video represented a lot of long gone business and industry in Bradenton. Heading north before you got to the long gone R. R bridge there was a Scotty's lumber, Wicks lumber, Suncoast roofing supply, the Bradenton shopping guide press then you crossed US41, now you are head West. There was a FL mining & mineral cement plant, Gulf propane then it came to a dead end with the Miller Tractor Trailer manufacturer Co. Tropicana yard was way bigger than your video shows. But like I said great job again.

I think if i remember correctly it had RF&P geeps for power on it back then. I remember thinking "wow, that whole train must be orange juice" lol. Still had orange and white mechanical reefers back then. Enjoyed the update Danny.

These were Hot Trains as you called them . Now these cars are just mixed into mixed freights , I recently got video of a mostly Tropicana train ,that was nice to see . There was 1 old style refer car in the mix which I thought was cool to see . May guess is they come from Georgia the Carolinas and into Fredericksburg Va and into the Philly Sub in Baltimore continue to Philly on to New Jersey , Thanks for the great videos .

    Danny, the line at the north end of the plant was the seaboard main from the valrico sub to Bradenton and Sarasota. There used to be a SBD draw bridge crossing the Manatee and went north thru Parrish. Part of that line still exists and is owned and used by the Florida Gulf Coast Railroad museum. Way back in the day, the juice went north on the Parrish line to the Valrico Sub where it cut in somewhere about the SZ 3.5. Turned south to Welcome then took the WYE at Welcome north on the Plant City Sub. Also, that same SW line is a still in use by CSX at the south end of Tropicana and goes south to Oneco where the Seminole Guld takes over ownership.

    Danny: Enjoyed the video, excellent job as always. Good catch of the 9002, and I figured you'd get some comments about it. The CSX 9000 series were transitional models which combined some Dash-8 and some Dash-9 spotting features. CSX 9000-9002 are basically Dash-9 bodies and "innards" on Dash -8 trucks and frames. CSX 9003-9052 are Dash-9 bodies, frames and innards on Dash-8 trucks. Further confusing the issue, they were all delivered as 4,400 hp units, but were subsequently de-rated to 4,000 hp. As for what is stenciled on the side of the cab - well, I think we've both fallen into that trap a time or two. Anyway, very cool that you caught it in the lead - one of only three units like this on the CSX roster, or anywhere for that matter.

    For those wondering about the Seaboard Air Line trackage in Bradenton, that spur crossing MLK and 9th Avenue used to continue west into downtown Bradenton until sometime around the late 50s - early 60s when they cut the line back to just shy of their crossing of the Atlantic Coast Line on this spur. This spur also served the Florida Tile Company located near where US 301/41 passes by a couple of municipal water department tanks (there's still a hump you can feel in the road where the spur crossed). This line was built to serve Bradenton as originally the Seaboard passed through the town of Manatee, located east of Bradenton, with Manatee being amalgamated into Bradenton during World War II. The original Seaboard Bradenton station was actually made of some stone or brick and lasted until the 1950s when the area was redeveloped into its more current state of commercial land-use. The Manatee Public Library has decent ground level and aerial photos of this area and station that are available online through their photo search. The Seaboard bridge across the Manatee River was removed sometime around 1970 but the rest of the Parrish Sub continued as a through route up until the early 80s when it began to be used for car storage and was thus downgraded. If you look at the shot of the Juice Train crossing the Manatee River, you can see two stone piers from what was the original wooden swing bridge that used to span this river back in the early 1900s before it was eventually replaced

    The old bridge in the manatee river, that been tore out was the acl. It connected parrish to manatee (East Bradenton FL) the juice train never used this line because the bridge was gone by the time the juice train started running, prior to the train they used several ships to transport the juice. BTW, Ringling Brothers used the acl for there trains years ago, (steam) they used that bridge for there trains from Sarasota, you can view this in the movie greatest show on Earth by de mille

    Danny, I live in Jesup, GA (close to the Doctortown bridge you referenced in the video). We see the juice train come through here regularly. We would be east of the CSX Waycross rail yard and the tracks from Waycross merge here with the tracks from Jacksonville. Amtrak uses this rail from Jacksonville in it's run for both the Silver Meteor and Silver Star lines. My guess is this would be the routing, for the most part, onto New Jersey from Waycross.

I also grew up visiting Bradenton each summer on family vacation from Canada, which usually meant a regular railfan outing with my dad to chase the Tropicana Juice Train.

    Great video, as always. I particularly likes the history lesson using Google Earth to follow the abandoned right-of-way. I've done the same many times.
    Keep 'em coming!

    always good to see the Juice in operation another railroad who does this is UP with the Fruit Express except they hook containers to their train and head to Global 1 in Chicago where they interchange to NS and CSX.

    Thank you Dan for making these videos. I'm subscribed. I've been a fan of railroads since around 1959. At the time, we lived in Brook Park, a suburb of Cleveland by the airport. My dad's parents lived on W. 114th St, just north of Detroit Ave. and a few houses north of what I believe was the Nickel Plate railroad tracks. I remember when we left my grandparents house headed home. We were stopped by the flashing lights at the tracks. I saw a steam engine go by pulling a train. We lived in Brook Park until 1965 when I was 11 years old, my parents moved to W. 112th St. Since I spent most of the years before out in farm lands, wide open fields, ancient woods and Lake Abrams that were in Middleburgh Hgts, south of Brook Park, I didn't like the city, at 13, I started studying how the yards crews got on and off slow moving trains, and started hopping trains to go on adventures. I got sent away in 1970 for a year and my parents moved to Canton, Ohio where I came home to. At least my life has been better since then.

      Yes, it sounds like you had an interesting life. I've never hopped a freight train and now I'm too old to try!

      @@distantsignal If I did today and got caught, I wouldn't be treated as well as I was back then. My favorite freight car was a covered hopper with a cubby hole at each end. I could hide in there and be protected from rain. I've also noticed that they've made freight cars not passenger friendly anymore.

    Excellent updated video on the famous Juice train. I still have the VHS version of Streak of Orange I purchased from you 18 or so years ago.
