as soon as I saw this pic I knew it to be the silver city comet which I rode probably pre 1980, after moving interstate for a bit I was saddened to see it had been withdrawn from service, I remember the trip as being different from any other train trip I had taken since the late 1950's

It's a gorgeous train. It's funny because nowadays you can drive from Sydney to Moss Vale a lot quicker then that.

Interesting composition with the two planes. These were probably added to express the speed of the new train. Even in the late thirties planes already were huge competitors for trains. The engine must be an EMD E3 from 1939. I found this on the internet: The inauguration of the Henry M. Flagler and The Champion in December of 1939 is frequently recognized as the beginning of dieselization on the Florida East Coast. Power chosen for each of the six car trains was EMC's early, slant-nose 2000 horsepower E3 units, numbered 1001 and 1002. A third unit, a new E6, was built in December of 1940 and was assigned to The Champion between Jacksonville and Miami. In February of 1942, the FEC received an additional A-B-A set of 2000 horsepower E6 locomotives (1004-1051-1005) from Electro-Motive for service on a joint FEC-ACL train, The Florida Special. Both A-units wore the same red, yellow and silver paint as applied to the E3s, but without the silver ends that was designed to blend in with the stainless steel train that followed.
