Even though WC had a general order that the AC FP9's were not to lead in freight service west of Sault Ste. Marie I had an open offer to any crew that lead with an F that I'd buy a 12 pack of there preferred beverage. In this case I kind of felt shortchanged because there was no option, but a deal is a deal and I made my way to the store. Besides they had pulled up to the depot and were awaiting SOGBA which put the F's in the shadow of the building and were kind enough to back up about 10 car lengths to get the units out of the shadows. After I drove to the rear of the train to protect there back up move I was able to nail 1755 and 1753 on GBSOA on March 10, 1998 as the sun played hide and seek with the clouds at Trout Lake.
