St. Augustine historian helps unravel mystery of Southwestern Railway


Editor s note: Last month, as part of The Record s Where History Lives series, Peter Willott wrote about the mystery of the Florida Southwestern Railway and the two brothers, Fred and Floyd Perry, who built their very own locomotive in a St. Augustine backyard. Floyd s son, Charles Perry, saw the story and reached out to St. Augustine Historical Society s Chief Librarian Bob Nawrocki with more information. On Wednesday, Nawrocki and Willott met Charles Perry at his St. Augustine home where helped to unravel some of the mystery. 
Fred Perry was fascinated with railroads from an early age, Charles Perry said. As a boy growing up on Florida s west coast in the early 1900s, he would flag down trains and convince the conductors to give him a ride into town. ....

St. Augustine historian asks for clues to railway mystery


For years now, Bob Nawrocki has been trying to get to the bottom of a mystery that dates back to 1954.
The story begins with two brothers, Fred and Floyd Perry, who dreamed of becoming railroad tycoons. So much so, that they spent seven years building their very own locomotive in the backyard of Fred’s small house at 44. S. Whitney St. in St. Augustine.  
That’s right. They built a 60,000-pound, 36-foot-long completely functional narrow-gauge steam locomotive Fred called Engine 425.
They bought the plans from a company that was making steam railroad engines. They did all of their machine work; they had casting done by a local pattern place in town; they did all their own welding and painting, said Nawrocki, St. Augustine Historical Society s chief librarian. By 1963, their total cost was well over $71,000. ....

Mets Top 25 Prospects for 2021: Other Players of Note


Jose Acuña, RHP
Signed out of Venezuela during the 2019-2020 international free agent signing period, 17-year-old Jose Acuña shows the makings of being a starting pitcher. At 6’2”, 175-pounds, he has a solid pitching frame and is likely to add additional mass in the future, increasing his durability and fastball velocity. As the summer progressed, he added a few ticks to that fastball, signing on July 2nd with a fastball that topped out at 91 MPH and ending the summer with a fastball that topped out at 94 MPH. Complementing his fastball is a curveball and a changeup, both of which are developing but show potential. His curveball has sharp drop, while his changeup has solid tumble. Acuña has the ability to throw all three of his pitches for strikes and shows a baseball acumen advanced for a player his age. ....
