Northbound Tr. #92, The Silver Star, 2 Hours Late at 1:30 pm  Contributor's Pick!       
Okeechobee is not one of Amtrak's important stations. It is the bus shelter above red car at the left. The SAL passenger station is gone. The freight station stands, is boarded up, but looks like there is warehousing activity in it, and has the only Okeechobee sign, probably from the SAL era. No agent, but no problem. The passengers had cell phones and were talking to Julie. She was wrong. The train was ten minutes later than she said it would be and didnt change her story even when I called her a couple of minutes after her ETA. Most of the black dots on #15's nose are dead bugs. It's black bug mating season. Only the Star calls here.
