An SW type EMD switcher went south in tow behind the regular engines on
a freight train through Fort Lauderdale last Thursday, October 6th very late in the evening. It had a five digit number but was unexpected and I
was unable to get the number. It looked like it just came out of the shop
somewhere with new (very dark) and clean paint.
I think Rinker is the originator of the unit trains (rock) that go north in the
PM through Fort Lauderdale. They also apparently have other plants up
and down the east coast of Florida.
The FEC provides a good show of trains in the evening through Fort
Lauderdale and occasionally I just sit around and watch them.
