April 7

Since my Selma trip, which I wrote little on, it was a straight forward trip. I started planning other trips. I another trip to Raleigh, to watch trains, at the train station. I have planned other trips which I may or may not take. Most recently, I took to planning or revising a trip from my home port in Cary to Florida. I had worked three, before. The first was to Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa. The first draft did not include Tampa because I passed though Tampa and did see the two railfan sites, the airport monorail and the streetcars downtown. However, the final revision did include Tampa. The second plan took in Southern Florida with Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. However, I had to combine them in a third option.

As fate would have it, rumors of the high speed, Brightline was materializing. And is not partly in use. It is not Virgin trains. This warranted a bit of revision to the old southern Florida plans to, at least, see Virgin Trains. However, I generated a new option to include watching and riding Virgin trains. This still needs final revisions and corrections before being taken. I am very tempted to take this as my next excursion.
