Jacksonville Terminal with on-coming FEC EMD GP9 # 674, passing some private cars located on a stub-end siding while it's on the outer terminal by-pass track, 1973. The by-pass track leads to the FEC railroad bridge that crosses the Saint Johns River in downtown Jacksonville, Florida. The passenger car directly across from the locomotive is a domed observation car with a cover over the dome. A Fruit Growers Express refrigerator car is located on the far left.

It appears that this tour train is hauled on it's tour routes by Amtrak. These tour car are conventional lightweight passenger cars that appear to have been refurbished. This observation car is the former Joseph Pulitzer from the Texas Special.

Jacksonville Terminal view of private heavyweight Pullman cars located on a stub-end siding, 1973. These well worn Pullman cars were in transit to a new owner. From what I can read of the lettering on the side of the car, it says the following: "This car shipped from storage in Pullman Company shops Calumet to Mr. Chapman S. Root 320 Orange Ave. Daytona Beach, Fla. Zip. Not to be operated in revenue service."
