One down, four to go.
Last night I was informed that today's CPKC 246 was to have one of the five brand new CPKC 250 Units in charge, the only leading this train in particular was KCS 704. So I made my way up to Mt. Pleasant in Wisconsin to snag them before chasing them South to Illinois where they would wait out rush at Wadsworth as well as getting a new crew to take them south. I also managed to snag Amtrak 8 making it's way South at Russell before the 704 showed as well. All in all, these things are pretty neat in person. Just one down, five more to go. Enjoy!
CPKC 3-246's Power:
KCS ET44AC #704 *America 250*
CP GP38-2 #4445 *ex-SOO Line 4445*
DPU:
CP AC44CWM #8138 *ex-CP 9671*
Amtrak 8's Power:
AMTK ALC-42 #306
AMTK ALC-42 #320
Taken on 4-23-26
