I notified FloridaTrainKid that I will be railfanning at certain spots. 

I originally planned for the 109 at Hollywood, but that plan diverted to Iris Interlocking.

As I approached Croissant Park to get any 202 action, as it was presumed that 202 will pick up in Lauderdale, I spotted him. The train did pull out as far as SW 22 St, but FloridaTrainKid's scanner picked up the crew saying that they will clear SR 84. So the train backed up, and eventually, the train pulled out.

I did catch two trespassers in the act, imagine how embarrasing that would be!

Power is the 704, with a nice RS3L, and 106 (Yuck!)

I managed to snap a few good photos of the train too. I might try to upload the photo with 106 to RailPictures.net. It focuses on the engine and luckily the sun was out.

The pick up was 4000 feet, a bit larger than the short 240 that TheRealTedMarshall caught on 8/24/08.
