Driving along the CSX S-Line heading south around 8:00am we made a stop to catch two northbounds first up around 8:23am is CSX Train Q452 with only three engines and three cars Q452 was gone next in line at 8:40am following behind Q452 was a rock train K916 im not sure but i think K916 comes out of Miami, FL and heads north somewhere.
Arriving in Lakeland, FL around 10:30am the fog was gone now its time to focus on catching trains at 11:06am here comes CSX P920 the blue unit circus train making its way to its next stop in Orlando, FL that is it no more circus train intill Nov. 2012 when the train comes back to Tampa, FL staying here in Lakeland we catch Amtrak P091 inbound to Tampa, FL after Amtrak P091 we move to Plant City, FL where things will pick up first up around 12:30pm came CSX Train Q740 the northbound juice train leading the train is CSX 617 a (AC60CW) then next in line is O709, O709 is heading back to winston yard with GP60 number 6897 for power.
Amtrak P091 outbound was next in line heading back to Lakeland, FL then south all the to Miami, FL making stops along the way, we then moved to the plant city holdout signal to catch O800 i tryed something new i zoomed in my camrea all the in to catch O800 coming around the connection track at the Plant City depot i liked how the came out, man the SD40-2 was giving it hell pulling his train up the hill and hearing a SD40-2 running in notch 8 is the best sound in the world to hear if you like EMDs after O800 made it to the top of the hill we got back in the car to hurry up and head back to the CSX S-Line to catch CSX Train T082 this is one cool train i like catching it don't matter what the power is.
With no trains around the Plant City area we heaed back to Lakeland following the CSX A-Line we hear that Q251 was coming out of winston pass track so we made a stop at the Dis. signal to plant city holdout to catch Q251 he will take the plant city connection track getting on the CSX S-Line and head northbound.
We hear on our scanners that yard job Y110 was backing into winston yard so we made a stop at Gay Rd to get him backing into the yard he had all tank cars with CSX 4318 a (GP39-2) for power then we headed to the Vitis sub wye we knew there was going to be four trains coming for us so we set up camp here comes Amtrak 92 the northbound silverstar next up is southbound CSX Train Q453 heading for Miami, FL 30mins later here comes O710 making a backwards move to go and work park spur, at 5:22pm here comes O713 with only one engine and four 4 cars the crew goes on to work around the Auburndale area, we then headed south to the South Lakeland signal to catch Q235 a loaded autorack train heading for Tampa, FL he would go to track 2 to meet Amtrak P092 outbound somewhere along down the line and before you know it heres comes Amtrak P092 heading for Lakeland and then north making stops along the way.
Hearing a that a power move was coming out of Tampa on the CSX A-Line and heading for winston yard we headed to Gay Rd to catch this must be a new I.D ive never here it before it was X756 leading the light engine move was CSX 2669 the only YN2 (GP38-2) left on the whole CSX roster right behind X756 came yard job Y126 backing into winston yard as soon as Y126 was gone we rushed over to Wabash Ave to catch Q613 I put the camrea on the dashboard instead of free handing it and that will end my railfanning day with Ben (Caltrain927).
