I am well aware of the folks involved, and rode in the cab with them in 1989 on a segment of the Coast Line in the Cascades. Yes the Freedom train ended in Miami, which is why it did a transcontinental trip after that and why we went down there.
My dad did not like all the high speed chasing the first day so he decided to ride the next two to Montomery, AL where he got off. He had some nice shots out of the dome car that was on the train, and enjoyed his rides. We got some nice picks in the cold weather that was sunny for the most part.
