It was windy and rainy.

After a tiring shift yesterday, I had the day off today before going back to work tomorrow, so I decided to go around the usual areas to see what I could find and I managed to get some good stuff, from a pair of brand new CPKC GEVOs on 149 to CN 1776 leading Z194 later in the day. Despite the rainy weather and the constant wind, this was overall a good day to be trackside. Enjoy!
