Day two out of three!

After a very successful first day for the 2026 Diesel Days, we find ourselves back on the IRM grounds for day two. While Friday had pretty much the same array of trains with a few exceptions here and there, today had a lot more variety in terms of the big cowl units like 92 and 6976 on the freight train, two CNW duos on two separate trains, and without a doubt the highlight (at least for me) of the day, the official public runs of BNSF SD70MAC #9400 on the demonstration freight and the Nebraska Zephyr! All in all, it was a great second day of Diesel Days, but we still have one more day to go. Enjoy!
