I had the pleasure of catching two rare CN engines, a class EF-644d (C44-9W) and a class GF-643a (SD75I) in Lakeland FL on Saturday Ocotber 1, 2011. The two engines came in on a Potash Train to Sebring, dropped off its train there for interchange to South Central Florida Express (SCFE) and ran engines light to Lakeland, FL, where I caught it in the morning. The two engines went back North on a Lakeland to Waycross Mixed Freight as the third and fourth engines.
