One last video for the month.
Today I got word that an extra 249 was running today with you guessed it, another one of the CPKC 250 units in the lead. Given that I had some time before my shift for the day started, I went out to Rondout to try and snag them and ended up not only getting them, but managed to snag the main 249 and 1333 with a Dash 8 leader. A little while later, I got word that a 254 was making it's way down with a KCS MACe as the leader and CP 8876 trailing so after I had gotten done with my shift, I made my way out to Rondout to snag them. Not a bad day for the last day of May. Enjoy!
