It's still frigid but hey an SP patch.

Today I got up really early as I heard a combined Sheboygan/Oak Creek train was making it's way up the UP today with one of the few remaining SP painted AC44s in charge, so I made my way to Highland Park to snag them and managed to get there with about a minute to spare, after that I decided to chase them to Kenosha before making my way back down to Rondout to intercept CPKC 342 with a pair of KCSM AC44s, and then by pure chance a meet between Amtrak 1333 and 334. Enjoy!
