Coming back to Philadelphia from Ft.Lauderdale on the Silver Meteor
last week, When stopped at Orlando, The Tropicana train was stopped
next to us. It pulled ahead of us ten minutes before we departed.
The Meteor arrived in Philly ten minutes early which must be a record.
and we must have been right behind it most of the way.

Does the Tropicana have priority over other freight trains???
How often does it run ????
Couldn't see exact number of cars, How many cars does it usually have???
Noticed quite a few modern white cars with Refrigs at end of cars,
are all the older cars being replaced???
What would the temp be in these cars???

Any further info on this ite, would be appreciated.
