Скачать или смотреть NASA SLS and OmegA Solid Rocket Booster Train - Jacksonville to Jay Jay - June 12, 2020

After departing Promontory, Utah earlier in the week, Northrop Grumman's solid rocket booster (SRB) segments travelled by rail across the country. On June 12, 2020, the train departed Bowden Yard in Jacksonville, FL for the trip to Jay Jay yard, just north of Titusville, FL. I was able to spot the train in St. Augustine, Ormond Beach, Edgewater, and near Jay Jay.

The train was carrying the 10 booster segments for the first NASA SLS launch, Artemis 1, as well as 2 inert segments for Northrop Gramman's OmegA rocket. The red flatcars hold the OmegA segments while the yellow flatcars hold the SLS segments.

Leading the train was a Florida East Coast (FEC) locomotive that was added at Jacksonville followed by two Union Pacific (UP) locomotives that had been pulling the train all the way from Utah to Florida.

Locomotives:
FEC 411 - EMD GP40-2
UP 7382 - GE AC45CCTE (ES44AC)
UP 7527 - GE AC45CCTE (ES44AC)
